I could (but won't) sit here and write quite a "laundry list" of practices and rituals which even the UPCI indulges in that are simply non-biblical, but I will list just this one:
I noted in the most recent edition of the Pentecostal Herald (have always subscribed to it, although I left the UPCI more than 15 years ago), that this Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal ministerial alliance has now decided to enter the business of finances - put your money in their CDs so that it can be used to finance missionary endeavors, and realize a monetary gain. Where does one find the first-century church doing such a thing?
Nuf said already!

Interesting! Wonder if this will affect their "not for profit" status?

What you say is true about the husband being the head. He does not attend a UPC church and states that he never will. We are looking for a oneness maybe charismatic church not more than 20 minutes drive one way. Thanks for your input, P |
Oneness Charismatic church? How does one even start to find with no word of mouth? Phone Interviews/Visits with the Pastors/churches?
What is the alternative, leave a oneness standards church and go to a trinity church without standards? Reading these many threads only leave me with questions.

Re: left upci yr ago and still messed up
Well, you would visit different churches. And network with friends. There are many churches, not UPC , that are oneness. I am wanting to leave the many man made traditional of UPC and others like it.

Rose, you may attend a church where everybody loves one another and treat one another well.
There are many churches where people are not so fortunate.
UPC and other oneness churches would be overflowing with people if they did not put "standards" above love and kindness.

That's because they had no CDs in those days.

Re: left upci yr ago and still messed up
For some reason I think they might not have needed much money in those days.
I think food and a roof over their head would be the main concern.
