Videotapes of the public debate between Martin, a UPC minister and a
PAW minister (can't recall who they are at the moment) have been
floating around for a number of years. I'm sure Bro Rich Brown or some
of the others better informed than me can fill you in on the details.

Orthodoxy is partly defined by acceptance of the doctrine of the
trinity, which the UPC specifically rejects.
"Cult" is a loose, subjective term. If that label is applied to us, so
what? It's a meaningless word.
