The strong influence of separation teaching from childhood can be very hard to be released from, this is not only true of the UPC but also of many others with different views. Some believe this is because it is hard to leave truth, however since it is true of other groups that differ from the UPC doctrinally, that is not necessarily accurate. Folks need time to sort things out thru prayer and study, a type of deprogramming or detoxing.

If you are in a church where you just abide by what the leadership says without personal understanding, you are not in relationship with Jesus, you are just religious.

You can certainly serve God in the UPC, but there is a tendency to follow the crowd rather than to 'know Jesus personally'. Does your church encourage you to "personally" know Jesus, not just to know about Him, but to "know" Him in personal fellowship?JMHOs


again, this isnt the situation Ms is talking about....

I agree with everything you've said here....people have to work out their own relationship...no pastor can do that for them..no organization can do that for them.

It's about a personal relationship with Jesus.......if you dont have one or know why you do what you do - then you will have problems.
