Your quote is pretty much what Spock says in this film to explain his sacrificing his life to save the crew of the Enterprise.

Of course he came back to life in Star Trek III LOL!!!

Well, I know, Ms Stickler, that there was no ST movies called Genesis. Thats why I asked what the name of the movie was. It was something about Genesis. Geesh, give a dumb Alabamaian a break.

So... what are we saying... Since there was a ST 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on, is it possible that we may one days see a

UPC II

or

UPCI
The Next Generation

"Headquarters. The final organization. These are the bylaws and constitions of the UPCI. Its never ending mission to become the biggest and the best. To adopt new rules and affirmation statements, to seek out younger and many more ministers, to boldly go where no man or woman, (providing they strickly adhere to, abide by and comply with any and all statements of faith and articles of constitution the governing body chooses to impose) has gone before"

Give it time, friend. The vast majority of us here have been blessed immensely by the brethren here on AFF.

Most of us HAVE reached out to our neighbors. And this is not a Trinitarian bashing board - in spite of a few that may fit that description.

Please relax and take time to get to know us.

Blessings,

You are absolutely right. This runs parallel with the passing of resolution 4 and many other things. This was once a noble organization that stood for the old paths. The good way. But now it is common in these churches to see Women wearing pants, (not new converts either) women wearing make-up, women cutting their hair. People with short sleeves, short skirts and dresses. Many now have televisions, dvd, and are not ashamed to say that they go to ballgames and the movie houses. Not to mention the attitude and spirit that goes along with this. The root of the problem is the heart. When your heart is unholy, your dress is unholy. You can tell a lot by how a person dresses and fixes their hair. I can spot a queer (or lesbian) in a matter of seconds based upon what I see they are wearing and how their hair is fixed.

These types of people are filled with anger also. Some are reading this with the hair on their neck already standing up, they need pray through to some good Holy Ghost convictions. Too think that someone would actually be interested in Holiness both inward and outward is foreign to most on this forum. So yes you are exactly right, the U.P.C. is dying. Until they get back to the Old Paths and start dressing right and get rid of Hollywood in their homes they will be DEAD. They are only a few elders away.

The United Pentecostal Church will be around for ever and people will still be having church. Apostolic Pentecostal movement will be going strong, and the sour pusses will always be available to throw rocks.

Some people need to stop whining.

i am one of those sons...and the more i preach the gospel...the more I want to leave the upci. i see many differences between the gospel Jesus taught and the one taught by much of the upci.
