A lot of these questions were settled when I was a new convert & yes I studied them for myself so these are my revelation of his word to me not just someone teaching me.

The forum has a definition of apostolic posted. I guess that is where the "forum" stands. IF I remember correctly, that definition was written by the conservative ministers who were the previous owners--that jumped ship.
Any topics of discussion contained within this forum are NOT necessarily the beliefs of the owners/admins of this forum--yet every so often there has to be this cycle of people suggesting/demanding that the word apostolic be removed from the name due to the content of some threads.
The name of the forum stands as it is. We have this domain name, and aren't going to the hassle of trying to find another name that isn't already taken-- or the cost of changing it.
Perhaps
www.pentecostalfriendsforum.com would be more to the liking of some.
Good grief, I don't know how many times this has to be repeated. This is a FORUM. This is a tool for people to meet and communicate. This is not a church. If anyone is looking for their doctrinal teaching here, they are looking in the wrong place. What is found here is a very broad spectrum of people's opinions. Nothing more, nothing less.

I guess I just don't understand why this has to come up every few months.
We want everyone to feel welcome here and to be able to discuss anything they feel important enough to discuss.

I don't understand it either. The endless cycle is ridiculous.
