Hopefully, my point in all this is fairly discernible.

Beyond a doubt... But is it really a point worth fighting about? I mean it's not like she claimed that the UPC has done more to spread the gospel than any other Christian group. You see my point?

While I am oneness I do respect any group...However that does not mean I agree with them. The Assemblies of God has done a tremendous work in Brazil. I did not start this thread to talk about all churchs only the UPCI. While many run them down we should not forget the good things about them.

Well, most of us on this forum know what I mean by oneness..

Is there anything here worth fighting about? I'm either wondering why certain groups insinuate that only they value the name of Jesus, or I'm just trying to be a Troublemaker (you gotta love my avatar), or both.

I'm a little dense.

...Please tell me you are not still arguing about the definition of that term. It was plainly stated what was meant. As long as we all understand what is being said then who cares? Doesn't it offend you just as much that some call themselves Baptists as if they are the only ones that baptize? Or some call themselves Holiness as if they are the only ones that are holy? Or some call themselves Catholic as if they are the universal Church for everyone? Or some call themselves church of Christ as if they are the only ones in the Church of Christ? Or some call themselves church of God as if they are the only church of God? Or some call themselves full gospel as if they are the only ones that have the full gospel? Go harp on some of those groups for a while. But it seems to me that no one besides ya has a problem with all these terms being used... Maybe ya should reevaluate your position don't ya think?

The good Sister, as always, is reminding us of the GOOD side of things.

You have raised a valid point. I am heading, right now, over to www.baptistfriendsforum.com and I'm going to tell them off. Man, I'm really mad now!

Seriously, the term, "Full Gospel" has always been terribly irritating to me. "We're 'Full Gospel', you other poor schmucks are only half-gospel!"

I don't care for labels, in case you can't tell. They're terribly exclusionary and unfair.

We should always remember the good....I always remember what Brother Phillips said, It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all...
