If the rules change and they tell me that I must adhere to the 5 step plan of Salvation to be a part of AFF. Then I will leave but until then I will continue to post and have a good time doing it.
How would they TELL you to adhere?

Did you ever believe the definitions in the rules when you first joined?

This site has 45 million views... thats something... this person is trying to reach people... I don't like some pics on it either and to criticize the layout or whatever, common, he is just trying to do a work, be merciful. I personally have no trouble navigating and following it, maybe whoever said it looked too quickly.
Just curious as to how the 911 conspiracy articles relate to saving someone's soul?

From the looks of the site I think you have to just engage in spiritual warfare just to read through the first page.

Re: Website where every christian should look at?

Are you serious? come on. Nothing of course. We witnessed to a girl at a sub shop with an open door about the London Olympics Illuminati stuff going on back then, its a door opener to witnessing... it in itself doesn't save a persons soul...

Maybe on some sort of eschatological scare tactic?

The world is a bad place, and Muslims are coming to get you, and your children, so get saved?

AFF FORUM RULES

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is DEFINED on AFF as:

Those that believe that every sinner must repent of their sins.

That Jesus name baptism is the ONLY biblical mode of water baptism.

That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith
with the INITIAL EVIDENCE of speaking in tongues.

The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.


Or are these just the terms of engagement to fight about?

Why the definition?
Where do you see "and unless you agree you are not allowed to post"? Wait...maybe you can't see that...

Where do you see "and unless you agree you are not allowed to post"?

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  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.

This was my very first post here at the AFF:

"Hello,
My name is Mike and I am a former UPCI but left almost 6 years ago. We are part of the local Assembly of God here in Jacksonville. I just came by to hang out with my Oneness brothers. Its a Oneness forum and I understand this so I will be respectful.....in Jesus Name!

Mike"

Re: Website where every christian should look at?

People ought to know the truth, it isn't conspiracy theories, its facts. It also can be tied to world events, end times, bible prophecy, it all relates and that is also an open door to soul winning, its also ridiculous that our churches are so ignorant and quiet about what is going on.

The rock and Roll Illuminati conspiracy theories make me laugh so hard!! Don't people understand that its all part of the act??? I love me some GAGA and I love to dance (both in the Spirit and in the natural). Of course being a member of a secret society makes me a member of the Illuminati so I guess I'm just following protocol
