Where Are The Real Apostolics?
It seems that most of the posters are exApostolics. Those who have left the church and gone over to the Charismatics. Those who have backsliden and are bitter toward the church.
Who here is a real Apostolic?
Who here really believes the message?

I'm a licensed UPCI minister who signs the as every year; does that count?. There are a lot of moderates and very few conservatives. I have been on this forum for six years, I know better than to argue lol.

I don't just believe this message I love it & I try my best to live it as well!
I guess conviction is bothersome for some! LOL!

Re: Where Are The Real Aposotlics?
You'll probably be forced to clarify what you mean by "real" Apostolics (with a detailed list), but I would classify myself as a fairly traditional Apostolic. I grew up in a UPCI home and attend a UPCI church. My views on most things would be classified as moderate, a few conservative, and a smidgen of liberal views sprinkled in for good measure.

I was just wondering. It seems that most are not in the church anymore.

No one really cares. It's your side that brings it up.

I believe what my UPCI pastor teaches; is that close enough?
...not including the ALJC or WPF in your list?

Re: Where Are The Real Apostolics?
Many of the "real apostolics" have become ex posters because they couldn't bear to have themselves subjected to an atmosphere that isn't largely populated with "Yes sir... what was I thinking".
There are, indeed, many on this site who never did or no longer hold to what you are referring to but the absence of "real apostolics" is largely due to their exodus.
