And not only upc, we should have fellowship with other oneness, Jesus name churches, even if they are not upc. My point wasn't anger at people or an organization, my point was we have the greatest truth, the greatest church, but only if we unite instead of dividing, and dividing. With growth there comes diversity, as long as the gospel doesn't change, why do people have to bail out, it seems fear, or other times pettiness, gets in the way of what God is trying to do.
What could we accomplish if we didn't concentrate on some man's convictions, and just had apostolic revival. Instead anytime there is growth, there is another split.
Lord forgive us, we are acting like babies.

Cmon man, there is strength in numbers, everyone loves a parade, and oh yea, more people pay more tithes and offerings, allowing the church to canibalize the smaller churches. It is ok though, only the hungry souls leave because they are not being spiritually fed.
It is religious wal-mart capitalism at its best combined with the golden rule. He who has the gold gets to make the rules, and the little struggling guy can't do nuthin about it...except compromise, THEN he may be able to grow his church...
