I guess when nothing can shake us from our foundations, like you said, those found in Heb 6:1-2
My pastor spoke today how a few years back he had examined everything he believed. And the things he ended up holding on to were the things God revealed to him personally....One God and the new birth message found in Acts 2:38. (There were those around him after he left the UPC and was looking for ministerial fellowship who were telling him baptism didn't matter, speaking in tongues wasn't the initial evidence, etc.)
I think repetitive questioning is silly and fruitless. At some point you've gotta move on. That's why I rarely debate doctrine on here.

Is your pastor still out of the UPC?

Depends on whether the beliefs you cling to are actually correct!
But seriously, there's nothing wrong with being receptive. Of course, that could start another definitional argument, but to me, it just means honestly listening to others' arguments and ideas.

yes, but he's been asked to rejoin and is seriously considering it.

Our mind is the seat of God's presence in us. We should be open to all he wants for us. His word is the filter of our mind. If an idea is foreign to His word there is no use debating it. Doing so only brings confusion, doubt, unbelief.
He has remained close with a few of the ministers in this district. One is like a pastor to him. He went to Gateway with one.
In our state there aren't many apostolic churches and fellowship is scarce outside of the UPC. My pastor has not left the message of Oneness nor of the New Birth in Acts 2:38 . He feels closer to the UPC in doctrine, the important doctrines.
He went to campmeeting this summer just to hear those of like faith preach and to be uplifted and was graciously invited on the platform and given the right hand of fellowship.
Maine is not California.
