The Revised Standard Version and the UPCI

THE REVISED STANDARD VERSION

Adopted by the General Conference in 1953
Inasmuch as the United Pentecostal Church believes in the inspiration of the holy Scriptures, given to us by holy men of God who spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, and [inasmuch as] we believe the Scriptures to be the Word of God given to us by divine authority,
We hereby declare our position regarding the new translation of the Bible in modern speech known as the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, copyrighted by the National Council of Churches in America:
Whereas upon examining the Revised Standard Version of the Bible we find [that] many [passages concerning] the fundamentals of our Christian faith and doctrine have been changed and are very misleading, namely, the virgin birth of Christ, remission of sins as taught in the New Testament, the deity of Christ, and other truths, and
Whereas a majority of the committee of translators themselves, according to their associations, connections and records, are [shown] to be modernist and liberal scholars who do not believe or embrace the revealed truths of God's holy Word, including the plan of God's salvation, . . .
Be it therefore resolved that the United Pentecostal Church International declare its disapproval of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, copyrighted by the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.
Be it further resolved that we continue to accept the King James Version of the Bible as the most accurate translation of the Scriptures to be used in our churches and among our people.
The above is a position paper of the United Pentecostal Church International and is provided for informational purposes.

Sister Klein's 'Defining Original Sin: What it is and isn't!

I have read all the books, and have done all this work with the education of the body of Jesus Christ in mind. I am hoping it sparks someone else to delve deeper into the area of apologetics. Whether you agree or disagree with my points, I applaud you for taking the time to read my research. This subject is not as simple as some would suppose. Many have stumbled over it, and continue to preach to the saints of God that they were born sinners and will always be sinners, after all God made me this way. What hope is there in that message? Jesus came to give us hope. He came to deliver and save us. We don’t have to sin every day or be classified a sinner. Before you again twist the Apostle Paul’s words to fit your theology, read my book.
