If you're alright with the Assemblies of God you well fit well with Global. Some Assemblies of God are listed in their directory. |
Some of us believe the Body of Christ includes those who have differing concepts of "the Godhead."
P.S. I am not in Global

Good people yes. But more than "cozy", they license Trinitarians.

Is this really a major issue for us? I mean, really?
If boys are struggling with that, they definitely aren't ready for Global, or anything too far outside UPCI.
The diversity of Global in that area is attractive to me.

One UPC minister in Texas was unhappy with the UPC and I recommended he check out Global. He tried to contact them and received no response. That was a couple of years ago. I've heard that things in Global have improved since then. One young home missions pastor near me left the UPC and joined up with Global about a year ago.

That diversity would be attractive to me also but not all of us who consider ourselves Apostolic or Pentecostal feel that way.

Obviously it matters to many. There is a world of difference between fellowshipping with Trinitarians and licensing with a Trinitarian organization.

I guess, MM.
So beyond trivial matters like that, personally. It has separated the body for long enough. Fellow-shipping, calling them brothers... then why not license?
They believe Jesus is fully God and fully man, the Son of God and that God is One. That's enough for me. I mean, I don't have enough scripture beyond that to demand more.

Most trinitarians do not baptize in Jesus' name. (Although some do) And to some that is important.

I would think majority of Global constituents do
F, S, HG which is Jesus, etc....
Even then, true PCI'ers shouldn't worry about that. Contend for what is most traditional, but the formula doesn't save us.
