Here are five Apostolic conservatives that post or have posted on AFF that I have come to really respect and admire. At the top of the list are a couple of ultra-cons.

Steve Epley - consistant, honest, even-tempered, friendly, and is a Christian.

Rhymis - consistant, witty, even-tempered, friendly, is a Christian, doesn't post enough! (You're honest too!)

Coonskinner - consistant, down-to-earth witt, presents the conservative viewpoint very well and understandable, friendly, lots of patience, an all-around good guy and Christian.

Steadfast - consistant, great thinker and poster, has patience, is a Christian.

Phil Jones - consistant, friendly (to me), one of the good guys as far as I'm concerned, good debater, sincere, is a Christian.

All of the above have virtues that I value highly:

1. consistancy
2. friendly
3. sincere
4. Christian

I'm sure I'm missing other conservatives who should also be on this pedestal.

Who are some conservatives that YOU admire on AFF?
I disagree with Epley on Jewelry and Divorce but I always ALWAYS admired him for his consistency. He was more consistent than most Cons and Ultra Cons ever.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
