Liberal Apostolic Organizations:

What Apostolic organizations are there that don't make uncut hair and dress codes an issue of fellowship? I'm UPCI and I don't know of any other organization that isn't conservative on these issues besides the PAW.

Any other orgs lenient on these issues?

They are called the Assembly of God.

Stay away from any organization that isn't conservative on those issues.
If they aren't tight on those issues they aren't tight on anything else.

Mormons, Presbyterians, Church of Christ, many different Baptist groups, you can also look at the back of Charisma Magazine and find different Charismatic organizations that will left you join for a small fee.

Re: Liberal Apostolic Organizations:

Thanks Bro. Benincasa. I was primarily interested in knowing about organizations that teach Acts 2:38 as a standard of full salvation. The denominations you listed aren't "Apostolic" in doctrine or practice.

My apologies, but what you are asking for will not be apostolic in doctrine or practice.

Personally I believe that those who let down on holiness tend to ease up on other issues. I'm not saying that there can't be anyone out there who is staunch Acts 2:38 to the bone and has no holiness standards. I'm saying that in my own personal experience I have never met anyone who was un-holiness and a dedicated Acts 2:38 teacher and believer.

May I ask why the search?

I was reading in another thread about an Apostolic family in which the mother of the family didn't believe in the dress requirement about pants. It was advised that they find another Apostolic church. I began to wonder....where would they go?

As for my family, we were raised in an ULTRA-STRICT UPCI church. We left that church and found something more moderate. But in all honesty, my wife and I are far more radical in our faith than most Apostolics I know.

LOL

Bro...that can open a big bag of worms all over traditions most Apostolics hold as sacred as the Word of God itself. If I answer this subject, this thread would shatter into a million pieces with some people wanting to address the things I'd present and not the subject of the thread.
