Tyler:

First of all, I am under the leadership of a local church in my city. I have
no problems visiting any Apostolic Church. This may come as a shock to some,
but I do have many of them that ask me to preach for them.

You see, I want to find common ground with them. I sincerely believe that
you are my brother in Christ. I think that there can be common ground if
there is a mind that says "You can be in error and yet searching for Truth."
This is comendable and shows sincerity. This is not compromising one's
faith, but believing with and ministering to the individual who is searching
for Truth. I have no problems receiving instruction from Oneness people.

Another shock may come to you: After I left the UPC, I was ordained again by
a UPC minister, who knew of my involvement and knew I went Independant. He
taught at Stockton Christian Life College. I have the charge and certificate
of ordination on my wall. I have many friends who are ALJC, PAW, UPC, and so
forth. I value their friendship and we have mutual respect for one another.
I hope this answers your question.
