The 21st Century and we are still debating the in's and out's of water baptism. The role of women in Christian ministry. The varied veiws of "standards", The opposing views of the Oneness of the Godhead. To TV or not TV. The exact things that divided the early church seems to keep us divided. What the NEW BREED of Apostolic Christians (IMO) stands for is this:
Hbr 6:1 ¶ Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Hbr 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

This NEW BREED still believes in Repentance, water baptism in Jesus name and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. They still believe we are made holy through the Blood of Jesus Christ. They still believe that Jesus is God manifested in the flesh. And they still believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit. And, they still believe in the 2nd coming of the Lord.
If you believe that, say AMEN!
