Refreshed about UPC

Refreshed, maybe this is what you thought I was. I copied this from the gospeloutreach website. It is a net vs com or org if you try to find it. My new user name will not allow links to external sites except youtube.

I guess this could make you think of a long skirt and long hair up in a bun. It is about the United Pentecostal Church. They are "oneness" (no Trinity) beliefs and very legalistic with their own ideas of what holiness means. I have always been taught that this is a cult.

"However, after a person has experienced this "new birth," they're not quite yet "out of the woods." It is also expected that UPC members consistently comply with several "holiness standards," including, but not limited to, the following:

Women should wear skirts, but never pants or slacks.
Women should never cut their hair.
Women should not wear jewelry or makeup.
Men should only have short, conservative haircuts.
Men should not wear facial hair.
No one should own a TV.
No one should watch movies at a theater.
No one should wear shorts, or anything that would expose the legs.
No one should go swimming in a public place.
These "standards" vary a little bit from church to church, but most are consistently taught within the UPC (some of the more "liberal" Oneness churches do not teach these kinds of "standards.")"

I can't believe that you thought I was of these beliefs all along. It's embarrassing. I guess I'd better be careful calling myself a Pentecostal. There is just too much misunderstanding that goes along with it. Tweet
