WPF back to UPCI

Honestly, the only minister I know who takes the bible verse by verse and teaches is Arnold Murray of Shepherd's Chapel. While I may not agree with everything he teaches, it's refreshing to actually hear verse after verse of the bible being taught instead of a preacher taking one or two verses and preaching from them.

The WPF is just another of thousands of Christian organizations which preach allegiance to an organization instead of God. No, the WPF will never return to the UPC for there's too much power to be had in those man-made organizations and they'll continue their shallow teaching least the people hear and reject an organization based sect.

Thanks for making general blanket statements about two whole major religious organizations. It's greatly appreciated.

I believe that the Holy Ghost leads sincere seekers of truth to truth regardless of what church they attend...yes, even new born babies in Christ. A sincere seeker will know inside their innermost being that there is something more than what is being taught. Some of these people will be accused of being "church hoppers". What matters most is that people listen to the Holy Ghost and follow God.

God is still leading and guiding me after 29 years of walking in the Spirit...and by no means have I attained perfection yet.

"Major religious organizations"

There are followers of organizations without a doubt. The WPF and UPC are no exception and probably even more so given the demands put forth. No brainer there.

So only 1948, 1965, 1977, 1985 relevant. As for me and my house who cares!

I guess in heaven there will be divided, separate territories for the saints. Over here is UPC, over there is PAW and etc. Children of God should fellowship and band together. Of course there are exceptions if one group lets down on holiness, doctrine or etc.

I'm sure God looks upon all the debate and division with a heavy heart, and longs for us to get along and just go to work in the harvest field, instead of constantly talking against the 'other' organization. There is no perfect one, because they are all comprised of human individuals who are not all perfect. As long as they preached the whole truth and live Godly, we need to work together - not against one another!! We have good friends in just about all the organizations and independent. We don't put ourselves above them because we are UPC.
My husband has held license with UPC for around 50+ years, and I will say that as an organization it has done and is doing more worldwide than others. There is more fellowship locally and statewide (Sunday School, Youth, Ladies etc) than the others, which I count valuable to a church. The Lord is no respector of persons or organizations. He is coming "for those that look for Him" and have made themselves ready.

Most of us do not have a problem with the UPCI preaching the truth, the big problem we do have is with all the added extra man-made rules the UPCI has created.
We fully support Acts 2:38 and all the scriptures, but what we surely do not support is all those pharisaic rules that are nowhere in the Bible.
