First of all let me say I know most of these issues have been discussed so just let me vent! The longer I live the more questions I have about a few things.
Matthew 28:19 vs
Acts 2:38 I lean more toward the three step because of the chronological order. However the Jesus name vs the titles and the oneness vs the trinity view points I can see both sides! I just dont believe God is gonna send anyone to hell for not knowing something that is impossible to know until we see (get to heaven)!! Then there is the "standards". Most of Christianity agrees on the Ten Commandment type sins but the more popular denominations Baptist,Lutheran,Methodist etc have a very different viewpoints on "standards" compared to Pentecostal/Holiness! Almost every sermon I have heard in my 38 years about sin has been about the UPC standards (dress, hair, TV etc..)!! It seems that its easier to get saved than to stay saved. When Peter was asked what must we do to be saved he didnt follow
Acts 2:38 with "and now do everything Paul says!!!!! Why if the UPC is the self acclaimed church of the book of Acts why are they so consumed and obsessed with Pauls letters to the different churches?? How can you have a standard and ignore cultural and historical time frame differences?? Why is the Pentecostal/Holiness type (UPC WPF ALJC etc ) so obsessed with outward appearance?? I will never believe outward apearance (the uniform) is a sign of inward holiness!!!
