Contending for a view and disparaging your colleagues on the matter is directly a violation of the Fundamental Doctrine.

The UPCI Manual clearly states that "Pardon and forgiveness of sins is obtained by genuine repentance... We are justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ."

So then, Bros. Hall and Ensey: Just what part of this statement FROM THE CURRENT UPCI MANUAL did some of the men "need more time to accept?" This statement still reflects the view of the "PCI" brethren and C.H. Yadon in particular.

The only folks who "need more time" are those who are attempting rewrite the history of our fellowship. How much more time do you need to cross this out of the Manual and move "remission or forgiveness of sins" to the section on water baptism?

This can only be attributed to laziness .... as Bernard's own research acknowledges 75% of the Articles of Faith come from the old PCI manual ...

It's been almost 70+ years.

It is why Bernard has commissioned this new Creative Planning committee to look at revising the manual ... including examining the technology aspect of the Holiness article by 2012.

The water baptism article as it reads ... attributes no salvific language ... or link to remission ...

The Fundamental doctrine ... does try to paraphrase Acts 2:38 ... but even the added phrase for the remission of sin ... was allowed by a PCI Greer, who acknowledged it as a motion as long as "for" was not defined.

Also as the FD presently reads ... Dan Segraves pointed out in a symposium ... it is grammatically flawed.

.... only attributing forgiveness to water baptism ... and not both repentance and baptism for the remission of sins ... as Bernard views it.

Segraves writes:

While the author thoroughly examined the relationship of both repentance and water baptism as they relate to remission of sins in the text of Acts 2:38, he did not discuss the fact that the Fundamental Doctrine of the U.PC.I. does not necessarily endorse this idea.

The Fundamental Doctrine reads, "The basic and fundamental doctrine of this organization shall be the Bible standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. ..:'4 The grammatical construction of the Fundamental Doctrine would indicate that the remission of sins is effected by the water baptism alone, rather than by repentance and water baptism coupled together, since repentance and water baptism are not joined by the conjunction "and" butare instead separated by a comma.

Neither did the author discuss the significance of the word "full" in the Fundamental Doctrine. ("The basic and fundamental doctrine of this organization shall be the Bible standard of full salvation...:') At the merging conference, "a motion was made to take the word `full' out of the Fundamental Doctrine, but was defeated:'5 The significance of this is obvious. Without this word, the Fundamental Doctrine would have read, "The basic and fundamental doctrine of this organization shall be the Bible standard of salvation. ..:' The word full is an adjective which modifies the noun salvation.

While it may be difficult for those who were not present to understand or appreciate the importance of this word to those involved in the merger, it obviously suggests that the majority present and voting viewed "full salvation" as one thing and "salvation" as another. A discussion of this element of U.PC.I. history would be a worthy subject for a subsequent symposium.

It's a hodge-podge ... and yet still a gentleman's agreement.

[DAII]

I think this Hall article coupled with a few other things coming down the pike is why there seems to be a group of the Detroit guys desperately seeking to get their business in order ... as to turn in their licenses ....

And I mean ... there is a sense of urgency. They would hate to lose their affiliated churches to wolves.

[DAII]

As it stands with the manual to be revised in the coming 24-36 months ... I think we can start seeing the trickle of libs leaving to become a steady flow ...

The only guys that I think can influence this org to the left anymore are Kilgore Jr. and Hennigan.

Mangun is a wild card.
