Re: The Next General Superintendant of the UPC Wil
How often is there a vote for GS?
How long is a term?
How many times has Bro Haney been elected?

Re: The Next General Superintendant of the UPC Wil
I believe the position is David Bernard's, if he wants it.
That's who I'm voting for.
I love Bro Haney, but I have a hard time believing he will be re-elected.

I've heard Bro Bernard (sp) teach at LA campmeeting. He's fantastic!
I think he would make a great leader.

Why's that, EA, if you don't mind me asking.

Too much division, currently.
He is a great man of God, but men are looking for a vocal leader to point us in a specific direction. Someone needs to chart a course, and let the chips fall where they may.

Re: The Next General Superintendant of the UPC Wil
I wonder what would happen if we would let God choose the man and stop being like the world and electing our leaders. What would happen if we had a prophet that would anoint a leader and the leader was unknown to everybody but anointed by God. Just a thought, we say we’re not like the world but we sure do politics like the world. God was never a God of democracy.
The General Superintendant will always be a preacher who has close ties to a Bible College, because he has great influence over the young men that are coming out of the school over a long period of time. So if we’re voting for the next Superintendant in the UPCI, it will be PM. That is just the way politics go, and that is why God hates it. It’s never who God wants, always what man wants.

How would we do that? The "prophet" is also not subject to politics? It's an idea, but how is that accomplished. Does the NT give us an example? Just on a local church level. There was no organization in the Bible, so electing a GS is electing a leading member of an organization that consists of ministers. Makes sense to me.

He does lean a little more to the right. I've been to his church several times and heard him preach. That being said, I find him to be one of the most humble men in the org.

Because those "in the know" have reason to beleive he is ready to retire and will not let his name stand for re-election.
However those of us "in the know" could be wrong as we have been wrong before!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
