Robert: This is Brother Tylers reply to me about how I veiw the Priesthood.
"organizational afterlife". Snip.
Which was what Bro Clifton had said some were saying
when he said that there were doubts about their own salvation apart from
the organization that the church split from. snip.
Robert: This was some of his own imput leading away from my original post.
Robert Thorn Replied:I also don't know any Holiness preacher that believes
they have a lock on the salvation plan of God?
Robert: This was my reply to his misunderstanding, or his insinuation that I
was implying UPC had a lock on the salvation plan.
Nobody has been called a Nazi. We're talking about folks thinking their
salvation is in jeopardy (or ruined) because they are no longer part of
a particular organization.
Robert: This was the reply Bro Tylers reply to me on my attempt to end the
string because it was no longer on my original line of thought.
Bro Tyler: I've seen different preachers *sell* their particular org's from
the pulpit like a vacuum cleaner salesman sells vacuum cleaners and all of
the different attachments that go with it. snip
Robert: I thought we were discussing the priesthood?
God has a way of re-arranging the priorities. Bro Tyler
Will everyone please forgive me for holding the United Pentecostal Church
and saints and its preachers in to high esteem. I thought everyone in all
other organizations were taught to do that. I guess I was wrong. Bro Thorn
