Bro. Chris Sterrett spake thusly:
> Is this a UPC only list? NO. Is there a lot of UPC views on here? YES.
> What are UPC views? Biblically based standards.
As an ALJC'er (Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ), this list is
in operation from Bro. Richard Masoners church (a UPC church) as
sponsor. His church is the Information Provider to prairienet to
whom the list is run-in-the-name-of and responsibility.
However, this list isn't for just UPC'ers. It's for ALJC'ers, PAW'ers,
and any other kind of size, shape, striped, color, or organization of
oneness apostolic pentecostals.
It just so happens there's just a heap more UPC'ers on the list than
there are others. So, as a result, there's a lot larger UPC *voice* here
on H-F than there is others.
I suggest that if someone is sending mail to another Brother/Sister
that suggests they shouldn't be posting at all, they ought to go get
a Holy Ghost check. They need a check-up from the neck-up.
"The spirits of the prophets are subject unto the prophets."
If someone is saying something contrary to what you belive, don't get
angry because you can't defent your belief and lash out at the questioner
and call him/her a speaker of blasphemous words. I think the one that's
got your attention in this forum has done you a favor to root and ground
you more in what you believe. What would you say if the Lord sent the one
to question your standards to make you stronger? I think a real good
vigorous discussion helps us all. It challenges what we think and why
we think it. It makes us stronger. It forces us to look on things of a
different light.
Had no challenge ever been put to your holiness (or holiness standards)
and you hadn't ever checked out why you believed thus-n-so, then the
reason you believe them, though honorable by faith, is shallow with no
root. Someone's eventually gonna hafta hold a fire to what you hold as
true to test what you believe. Nobody likes burned feet.
