If, as some charge (and I don’t necessarily agree), United Church of God, an International Association (UCGia, or UCG for short) is becoming “Protestant”, then what does that mean?

While the terms “second resurrection” and “third resurrection” are not found in the Bible, Rev 20 clearly teaches a “first resurrection” and that…
