What is the opinion of the new org mass mailing to the UPCI ministers.
Do they have a statement as to their justification for this. My pastor has not inquired about anything from them and yet he recieves their magazine.
This is considered "unethical" and "sheep stealing" by some.
But, isn't most Oneness Pentecostal evangelism based on getting church members out of their churches and into a Pentecostal church?

Why don't you take a poll of all the OP pastors here and see if that is their method of evangelism!

Highly unethical. I can't believe it is still going on if this is true.

Brings me to a point I made on another thread how an organization that is consistently claiming considerable increases in membership fail to crack a million constituents without counting people from foreign countries.
We don't expect preachers to raid saints. Organizations should be held to the same standard.

What makes it unethical to try to persuade a consenting adult to your view of things?
-Bro. Alex
The same thing as it would be unethical for a minister to leave a mother church and continue to "make contact" with members from the church he just left showing them what was going on in the new church he was starting.
I know it has been bantered about before, but it is still wrong no matter how one wants to rationalize it.
??? This is not solicited material. The only thing these adults consented to was being licensed with the UPCI.
You got that right.
Oh, they wrap themselves in mock ethics by saying, "well if you do not want to recieve the solicitaion, you can request to be removed". Nonsense. True ethics would have it the other way. If you want on the solictaion list, then you should request ot be on it.
It is obvious why it is going on, and shameful this is going on.
