But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. 14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. Galatians 5:13-15 (NIV)
After conferences in 1944, the PCI and PAJC met in 1945 and successfully merged to form the United Pentecostal Church under the collective agreement on the following statement of fundamental doctrine:
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, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
We shall endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit until we are all come into the unity of the faith, at the same time admonishing all brethren that they shall not contend for their different views to the disunity of the body. - Manual, UPCI 1994
We hear a lot about keeping the unity of the Spirit but what was the basic
and fundamental doctrine or teaching that was agreed upon! Was it not
spelled out!
Just some thoughts,

You bring up a good point Falla. The Fundamental Doctrine that you quote however, is the original from 1945. The Fundamental Doctrine was changed in 1973 to exclude the PCI's so-called "one stepper" viewpoint.
Yes it was spelled out! Then it was changed.
The change has made the UPC more exclusivistic (only those adhering to the UPCI's new Fundamental Doctrine are "saved") and more cultic.
Part of the method for implementing this change was to keep all of the details under the table. No open discussions were ever allowed outside of closed board rooms. The majority of UPCer's were completely ignorant of the change and the types of pressure that was being put on the former "PCI" believers. Silence was not only golden, it was the key to success for the 3 step takeover.
