I mean no harm to anybody here I love people in all demoninations I wouldn't harm anyone but I do think what the early church taught as foundational truths are worth contending for.

I don't hardly know what to say after reading this thread.
I respect anyone's decision to make changes, they are the ones that have to live with their decisions.
I take exceptions to pointing out specific folks for their personal beliefs. I think it is uncalled for, but that is just me.
As long as I have been in UPC folks, outsiders, have called us cults. There are some assemblies I think would probably qualify for that title. But as a whole I don't believe that is a fair assessment.
Like Cindy said folks, we need to respond as Christians, be Christ like. I don't think some of these post fit that description.

As far being a cult alot of people in the church world could fit the bill but all Oneness people are not cultic,nor all oneness pentecostal people legalistic.

I think many of the UPCI ministers in the organization.
Should be forced to go to another church and sit under the leadership for 6 months.
They should not share that they are a minister in the organization.
Then poll them and see what they think of the ministry.
They would say, "Man am I glad to get out from under this Napoleonistic atmosphere"!
Brother Neck,
You seem to be very critical and...I must speak the truth...judgmental about the faith your father lived and loved.
I hope you can find peace and a way to be at one with yourself.
Blessings.
