Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2 KJV
If the letter writing district and general officials had done their duty and enforced the ministerial requirements spelled out in the UPCI manual, would there even be a Worldwide Pentecostal Fellowship?
If the UPCI ministers who have chosen to have television in their homes had turned in their credentials instead of going to Tampa and overthrowing the restriction on television advertising, would there be a need for the Worldwide Pentecostal Fellowship?
If a pastor wanted to have a youth group that conformed to the standards spelled out in the UPCI manual, would he want to send them to UPC events to play "Amazing Race" and celebrate Dora the Explorer, or would he send them to Worldwide Pentecostal Fellowship events?
"No minister having a television in his or her home shall be permitted to hold license or credentials with the United Pentecostal Church International."
Ok. Somebody's fibbing just a teeny tad. Wonder who...
Things that make ya go hmmmmmmmmmm. The question answer thing was NOT very informative. I don't think the UPCI allows holding license with two different orgs. I guess they have other orgs in mind.
So no "aggressive" recruiting efforts were used...no names were listed without permission???
If the leadership of the UPC had spent the last two decades upholding the manual rather than chasing the myth of "fastest growing," would there be a Worldwide Pentecostal Fellowship today?
I must say, that all communication from the WPF leadership has displayed a good attitude and spirit.
I think they are respoding like a political campaign. I am sure the WPF did not directly offer the $21,000 pay off of the church mortgage. However it could be some of the affiliated ministers are trying to lure men to the WPF.
That is where the offer most likely came from.....
Oh well, that's the way I see it!
NOT my brother.
