Think about it.

The UPCI needs a new add campaign.

Or I should say it should hire a firm for it's first offical add campaign.

The first thing the UPCI should do is change it's offical name.

The name itself holds so many negative vibes in the christian community.

I have a friend who was working with a client and on the wall was a plaque that read United Pentecostal Church, in spanish. He asked the guy about it to see if he was UPC. Well what ensued was interesting. The guy was from South America. I guess there is a "UPC" down there not affiliated with us. But the most interesting part was this: He asked why we OPs can't get along when Trinitarians from many different denominations can get together despite their doctrinal differences?
The UPCI is NOT a cult or legalistic, but there is a radical fringe within the UPCI that is cultic. We are seeing that small group flex their muscle in a fit of absolute rage because the dominant strangle-hold they have held for so long has been broken.

This group came to power in the early-to-mid seventies, and have consistently pushed an extremist agenda, with no regard for those who disagreed.

The worm has turned.

One of the greatest biblical laws is found in Galatians 6:7, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap."

I'd be happy with my own Healer... but that's just the western, capitalistic, and selfish, culture influencing my spirituality...

They will get one soon in the form of the Anti-Christ.

What the world needs is a saviour who is Chrsit the Lord.

Healing is about emotional state.

What we need is world repentance.

I'm surprised you agree, but thanks.

There are liberal psychos who believe anything goes, everybody is saved, and deer meat isn't venison. But they have never been in power in the UPCI. The difference is the radical right has been in power in the UPCI for a long, long time.

Everybody from the "magic hair" ladies to the "sports will kill you" kooks.

I'm sure they feel rejected right now, and I don't want to gloat, but I say it's about time the UPCI goes moderate. Let's go mainstream and show the world what biblical Christianity is all about.
