If the UPC would get out of the mindset that they are the only ones going to heaven and someone else outside the UPC might know a little something about the bible I believe more people would join or stay in the UPC. I would like nothing better than to see baptist,methodist,catholics.pentecostals under one roof. That is what I think of when god talks about the church. He is not just talking about the UPC church.

KWSS, do the other org's not stand up for what they believe is correct. I have never said nor do I believe that the UPC, ALJC, PWA or any other oneness church is the only ones going to heaven. The name outside the church want get you inside heaven. The org name want get you inside. True one may be disfellowshiped for preaching different that what the org beleives. But there have been some Baptist, and others do it.
No matter what org one belongs to, or what church name it comes down to are they following the Word.
Don't get me wrong. I do beleive in
Matthew 28:19. I just understand his name is Jesus.

For one she had never had the holyghost so my wife who was raised UPC her whole life either just lied to my son or does not even believe the UPC Ways or just could the UPC church be chaging it way of thinking...

Sorry to hear about the death in your family. Many times people say things to comfort other people. I think a person must be wise in what they say.
I speak from experience as a Funeral Director and Minister.
I look forward to more conversations.
