Denominations and churches have been splitting forever. Man consistently fails the test of Christianity. We have access to Jesus but we ignore His message and the convicting, revelatory power of the Holy Ghost regardless of the issue(s) at hand. Personal choice seems to win out over God's command to love one another with division as an obvious cop out in the case of theological disagreement.
There was something to the old-school Pentecostal/Apostolic practice of "Tarrying for the Holy Ghost". When you tarry, you petition God for His Spirit until He comes. Until then you keep tarrying. When He comes He "The Holy Ghost" will bring you/us into all truth. (John 16:13).
Farewell United Methodist Church as we knew it.
Sincerely,
Phillip Carter
