If you have ever tried to find doctrinal statements of the UPCI on their webpage, you might have noticed the same things I did.
Namely that their doctrinal statement consists of little "tracts" that someone wrote...including a tract that has nothing to do with what we believe but is an anti-Trinity tract.
But most noticeably MISSING are the articles of faith.
The only places I seem to find the articles of faith are anti Oneness Pentecostal sites or Lois's Spiritual abuse website.
That is totally messed up. And one of things I have noticed is that the AOF don't exactly agree with some of the things others have wrote in certain areas.
For example, the AOF states forgiveness of sins is obtained at repentance.
Water baptism has no mention of "washing away" sins or "remission of sins" but is rather an act of obedience for the person who has repented.
I'd love to email David Bernard on this but the last time I tried to contact him with a question regarding his views I was told by an assistant pastor to read his books.....give me a break
