Are you saying now that Standards are not based on Biblical Principles?

Who's on first?

Ron, you said all standards are based on Biblical principle.

In fact, many standards are not based on Biblical principle.

Understand?

They return here from time to time but aren't confident enough to stay.

OR

Maybe they saw the seeds of deception being promoted and wanted no part in it.

Just a thought.

I've been a former UPCIte for over 25 years. After coming to AFF I actually started attending Deacon Blues church here in Memphis which is UPCI until the Cupples started a church here in my area. I'm now attending Love & Truth church (Cupples).

Surely for a Christian, stooping to someone else's level should only be done to give them a hand up and not to push their head down in the mud!

What happened to turn the other cheek?

Many people don't know a thing about Ministry or it's perspective, but they feel just as justified to criticize it?

That is what he was calling them.

Perhaps another term would be "Ignorant?"

BTW I have been on the Ignorant/Dingbat bandwagon as well.

I went 10 years as an ex-upc-ite, and went back for three years. I found that they had not changed, but I had.

Don't bring Christianity into this!

We're Apostolaholics.
