Did we think it wouldn't be this way? I mean really?
It is sad, I hate to see them go all in the name of conservatism. The org is shifting away from an all exclusive belief. Its about time, I remember when we kept to ourselves because everyone else was sin to be around. Now the UPC is changing to a more social org. Its ok to talk to the lost. There is no change in the plan of salvation, just how we present it to the world.
Sure, many will go, but how many will stay??

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter

The funny thing is....now...right NOW...the UPC would STILL be considered by most outsiders to be a conservative group.
__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
Oh well, that's the way I see it!
