The difference I was talking about was the problem of racial issues
and holiness.  I really can't say to much about either since I have not
really seen to much of other ttpes of oneness churches besides UPC
but this is what I hear as the main problem.  

I will say one thing, I was speaking to a couple of girls this year
at the UPC camp in Indiana.  They came frrom a ALJC church.
They both commented on how strict the UPCI standards were and
how it was unfair to them.  Now, like I said, I haven't visited a ALJC
church but from those comments, my impression on the ALJC was that
their standards are not held high enough in regards to holiness.

What was some of the things these girls were complaining about?
They wore "natural" make-up, clear finger nail polish, etc. and the
UPC camp doesn't allow it.

Now I know that a lot of UPC girls do the same thing and say the
same thing as these girls did.  So I guess the question would be,
what are the standards of the ALJC and how do they differ with 
the UPC?  Is this the only difference these two groups has?

As for the PAW, this is an area that deals with race.  I have nothing
against them and neither do a lot of people I know.  The history of
Pentecostalism is what caused this.  I really feel that there *is* a push
to draw the races closer together.
