Just so folks know where you are coming from...when a cult member starts translating, it is best to know he isn’t playing from a full deck.

Are you a Christian sir?

Interesting question given the teachings of the ucg that, with the exception of them, of course, the rest of Christianity has fallen into apostasy. You spoke truth concerning the core doctrines of ucg as well. So instead of clarifying or defending those points, you are asked this. However, by exposing this, it is possible that you will now be considered, shall we say, persona non gratis because you don't smother it in sugary, sloppy agape'.

Yes, I’m a Christian. Based on your church’s theology, you are not.

Examples include:

“Doctrinal distinctives include:

* Belief in a non-Trinitarian view of God. Specifically, the belief that the Holy Spirit is the spirit/power of God and of Christ Jesus rather than a separate person in the Godhead. God ‘the Father’ and Jesus Christ are viewed as distinct ‘God beings’ in a ‘God family’.[1] [2][3] [4]
* Belief that Christians are part of the family of God and will at their resurrection be “spirit-born divine beings who are part of Elohim, the universe-ruling family of God.” [5]
* Belief that the core of Jesus Christ’s message was the coming of a literal earthly Kingdom [6][7] and that people who are saved will not go to heaven but will live and rule eternally with Jesus Christ after his second coming. [8]
* Belief that the final destination of the wicked is not everlasting torture but annihilation or permanent destruction. [9] ...
* Belief that Old Covenant laws (excluding ancient civil laws and temple laws) are applicable to Christians today.[11] Examples include seventh-day Sabbath,[12] dietary laws,[13] and Holy Days.[14]”
