Could an AOG saint theoretically be saved?
 
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
  • I've heard that some AOG churches will allow a person to be baptized in Jesus name, if it's specifically requested. Not many, but a few.
  • It is also known that numerous AOG folks have received the Spirit-filling, whether they have an accurate understanding of God or not.

That being said, could an AOG saint who has been baptized in Jesus name and received the Holy Ghost, be saved if they are living a repentant life with similiar holiness standards as some of the "wishy-washy" things openly proclaimed on AFF?

I'm not suggesting that it's probable; I'm only asking if it's theoretically possible.

Funny... I smell a rat!

Why would anyone doubt the salvation of other believers... ESPECIALLY if they have experienced it as have they themselves?

If they have received the Holy Ghost then the Spirit of truth will guide them into all truth.

If they don't get into the Word and study and find a Apostolic preacher...

They will bust hell wide!

In Jesus name

If I had known the results were open to the public,I would not have voted.
And, I am very surprised by Daniel's answer!

Makes one's eternal fate kinda random, then. Not everyone "finds" an Apostolic preacher, you know. Oh, well.

So the fact that they have obeyed Acts 2:38 under a man who baptized them in Jesus Name and silently believes the Oneness doctrine, yet they are still lost.

God Forbid we ever convert that man to be in our ranks!

He is lost and has all that blood on HIS hands.

Your reasoning is on Pluto- it is that far off base.
