I love the UPC

Thumper · #1 03-14-2007, 08:01 AM

I just thought that I would start this thread in light of other discussions that I have recently been in.

I'm very thankful that one morning when I was in dire need of spiritual regeneration that when I went to a United Pentecostal church in my neighborhood somebody preached to me the truth.

I'm thankful for my first opportunities to preach, which were in a United Pentecostal church.

I'm thankful for many friends who were United Pentecostal who have showed me much kindness.

I'm thankful for all the experiences, the wonderful camp meetings, revival services and great fellowship that made up the early part of my life in church. I'm very thankful that there is was and will be a UPCI

God bless all who labor for the gospel sake

Good post! I agree completely!

I have much to be thankful for what has transpired in my life from within local assemblies that have member-ministers who fellowship as part of the UPC.

Can one love God and not love the UPC concurrently? Is there a difference?

It seems your screen name is in agreeance(i can't spell) with your quote

Thumper, it is encouraging to see someone post something positive about the UPC.

Although I am not UPC, I don't have anything against it and do see it as a great work.

dude, that is such a perfect dead-pan delivery that you sir, are no novice.
your screename, the brevity, the thoughtful exit question,
are you are recent incarnation of someone very, very familiar with banned-land?

ps: seems a little early in the post count to hijack but certainly there is precedence for a post #4 departure.

There is an underlying motive maybe, but an honest question that deserves an honest answer from any who would care to be honest.

No incarnation. Just li'l ole me.

Never been banned from any forum yet. I'll try to behave and observe all the rules.

Hey Thumper

AMEN and me toooooo.

But this should really mess up the thinking of all those folks that think you HATE the UPC.
