Essentially the same thing. We are afraid to say the pre-existence of the Son because it would be confused with Trinitarianism a pre-existing Son. But I am ok with saying "the Son pre-existed" as long as it is qualified with "but not as the Son but as He who came AS the Son."

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

  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.
