Virginia, I felt the same way when I first started reading the posts on this site. I am a member of a UPC church, at least for now. Allow me to tell you this though, Bro. Steve, and others in this group have helped me out in ways they don't even know about. Bro. Steve even counselled me to not leave this church until I had talked to the pastor about the things that were done there that were unscriptural. Although some of his statements may seem harsh, I have found him to be always truthful and obedient to the Word of God, which requires that he speak out against false doctrine, and apostasy. I do believe him to be doing this in love. Just my thoughts...
