Superintendents...Presbyters......and ....WPF???
In talking with a some folks here the belief is that what the UPC Organization has in place concerning positions (Superintendent, Presbyter, Youth Positions) are not biblical offices....which is true...
It is interesting that the new WPF has set up an organization using the term Elder for it's structure...which is interesting.....because the word Elder is a Biblical Term....something like
49 Elders???
my question is "Would you have the same opinion of the WPF concerning the hierarchy and structure as you do of the UPC"?
And if you would by chance 'buck" the system there are going against your "Elders"?
Jus' Thinkin'....Don't know if this has been brought up or not.....
Just checked their Website....Maybe the 49 Elder thing has gone away...anybody know???

Re: Superintendents...Presbyters......and ....WPF?
another question just popped into mind....
Who's authority supercedes who???
If a man wants to start a church in a certain location and the UPC tells him he can't (being that he is now bi-organizational) does he go to the WPF to get permission???

I predict the bi-organization will not exist.

Back to your original question.
If this happened, assuming the bi-org thing was working I think if the pastor felt led to open a church in that city and UPC told him he couldn't that might be when he turns in his UPC card and goes only with WPF.

Well, if they did that then the UPC would just blackball him.
