Jason,
To answer your last question, yes, it is most likely that the Lord is trying to pull you away from the UPCI.
What you are experiencing is only a surface level picture of an organization that is spiritually unhealthy. You may wish to read my testimony:

There is a way for me to help you through this. I serve as host on a special well-protected email group that is designed for UPC people who are questioning Pentecostal issues. It would be a good forum for you to be on. We have over 100 members. Every one of them will identify with where you are. To subscribe go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DepartingUPC/
Be sure to complete the questionnaire in full. We are very selective with regard to membership. Only those people who are truly questioning UPC practices and teachings are allowed on board. We keep any out who would have an ax to grind with me.
Think about it. From what you have shared, surely the Lord is wanting to bring you out.
Feel free to communicate with me.
The Lord bless you,
Buddy
