Interesting post. I browsed an online christian ministry job site a few months ago and discovered a job position for an assistant pastor for a WPF church plant in my home town. The only job descriptions included were that the candidate needed to be obedient and submissive to the pastor (no joke).
It's crazy.

I really like this Sis. Alvear - wonderful spirit that you have. As soon as we find a perfect man, maybe we'll find a perfect church, and we'll have a perfect organization and we'll all live "happily ever after.." NOT!!! None of us are perfect, and so such a thing will never be possible. The spirit Sis. Alvear spoke of will be what helps us find our way to heaven.... with or without an organization...

Re: WPF back to UPCI
Cmon guys, does it really matter? We have guys like Letsgowinsouls, downs in areas where UPC churches call in preachers who aren't in the organization anymore and could care less about their backgrounds. Those lines have been blurred and in lots of cases, obliterated. 
As evidence to what is happening in our city, it doesn't matter one single whit, the END will always justify the MEANS, whatever it takes...Go out and give beef jerky, ipods, fruit snacks, digital cameras to the impoverished so they will come to church. Sure it goes against every nerve of our ethics, but who gives a rip...it put butts in the seats. yay!

Re: WPF back to UPCI
So WEC is giving out IPADS? So that's where all of the SFC money goes!

Re: WPF back to UPCI
Nope. Majority of UPC is already heading the wrong way. Sad story. They had one of the best evangelism worldwide efforts going in pentecost! Much of UPCI church's are starting to look & sound & have no power like many charismatics today.
But the CHURCH is still going up! The gates of hell shall not prevail
