Well bro, it's interesting that Brother you-know-who has this as his doctrinal statement, but the baptism part still seems a little watered down to me.
He mentions baptism by immersion... but is there a reason why he didnt say
baptism by immersion into the name of Jesus ?
He mentions baptism for the circumcision of our hearts, (which is scriptural;
Col 2:11-14)... but is there a reason why he didn't say
baptism for the remission of sins, which is also clearly scriptural ?
Obviously, there are some here who would very much disagree, but to me, it comes across as being carefully worded, but a little watered-down at the same time.

Sam, if you'll notice...
The question didnt ask if
the man,(i.e. the pastor) is "apostolic" enough.... it asked if the
the statement of faith is "apostolic" enough.
I think thats an important distinction to keep in mind.
