I believe Dan was been hurt by someone in UPC years ago...(of course...who hasnt been? All who live Godly will suffer persecution...sometimes by our brothers...but we must get over it) that's why you see so much bitterness towards it (making websites trying to discredit ministers etc.). It appears to be his life's passion. He has become known as "the guy online who hates Bro Stoneking". In life we will either carry a harvest sickle or a sword of war...I choose the sickle...
I too have heard that story about Bro Barnes...he was one of my apostolic heroes. As far as my name being attached to the broadcast...I completely agree with you. I brought this up to the station when we met (some may not believe me...but God is my witness). I wanted it to be more focused on The Pentecostals of Katy and the church...unfortunately it wasn't my decision. The station said it would make it difficult to market. At the last minute we added my name (my wife's was always attached to her show)
One note about seeming prideful..there is a flip side to pride...I believe the same pride that will cause some to sit on the platform will cause some to sit on the back row. Fear of being talked about is rooted in pride. I battle with my pride daily...chances are pretty good that we all do. I'm not above getting wrapped up in myself at times...I sincerely value your prayers.

McKee, a UPCI pastor of the Pentecostals of Katy,
who will begin a TV ministry shortly, has publicly admitted he picks and chooses which holiness standards to preach, teach and believe.
This despite the pledge and oath he and others ministers in the UPCI make every two years to uphold and preach and teach the holiness standards found in their Articles of Faith.
The statement, Rob, signs bi-annually states:
Quote:
|
I (Minister's name/Robert McKee), do hereby declare that I believe and embrace the Fundamental Doctrine as stated in the Articles of Faith as set forth in the Manual of the United Pentecostal Church International. I also believe and embrace the holiness standards of the United Pentecostal Church International as set forth in said Articles of Faith, and I pledge to practice, preach, and teach the same."
|
For reference the standards clause in the Holiness Article reads:
Quote:
"We wholeheartedly disapprove of our people indulging in any activities
which are not conducive to good Christianity and Godly living, such as theaters,dances, mixed bathing, women cutting their hair, make-up, any apparel that immodestly exposes the body, all worldly sports and amusements, and unwholesome radio programs and music.
Furthermore, because of the display of all theseevils on television, we disapprove of any of our people having televisionsets in their homes. We admonish all of our people to refrain from any of these practices in the interest of spiritual progress and the soon coming of the Lord for His church."

Robert, is also a signee and member of a recent movement within the UPCI that seemingly rewrites the Affirmation Statement, WeDeclare.org
The WeDeclare crowd seemingly picks and chooses which parts of the holiness standards are important while giving leeway to others like media and jewelry.
