If someone started the inverse of this thread on EA, they would promptly be banned. As well as on most other apostolic/UPC boards.

I meant to say, if someone started a thread complaining about <fill in the name of the standard> standard, or expressing a belief in salvation at repentance (while still espousing the other steps) you would be warned and the thread locked. If you tried it again, then banned.

How about a name change since this has ceased to be Apostolic in any sense of the word?

Maybe Ex-Apostolic Friends Forum?

Don't confuse the term "Apostolic" with "Pentecostal". Most here are not banjo beating Pentecostal Fundamentalists who are stuck in the 50's and see "standards" set by human organizations as edicts of God. But most here are "Apostolic" in that they believe in a relationship with Jesus, the Oneness of God, the application of Acts 2:38 (as being the application taught by the Apostles), clean Christian living, and the return of Jesus.

Just because many of us don't buy into "Pentecostal tradition" please don't assume we are not Apostolic. In fact, 20th and 21st Century "Pentecostalism" is far from being "Apostolic". The Apostles wouldn't recognize half of our traditions. Starting with the Catholic manner in which we observe the Lord's Supper with wafer and a thimble of grape juice.

What you are seeing is a growing number of people becoming weary of Pentecostalism and seeking a true "Apostolic" experience.
