Yes there were some men in the early days of the AMF that believed the 'light doctrine" most were connected in some way to Haywood's teaching. I do NOT know one preacher that believes that today. However Elder Terry's statement seemed somewhat misplaced since he belonged to a group that it's Bible colleges such as Stockton & S. Paul taught the same.
Elder Terry was one of the biggest desenters the UPC had back then and talked of leaving but when the AMF formed there was an issue(which was also found in the UPC) that kept him out and he became active in fighting the AMF.
Having preached in most of the churches pastored by AMF men I do not know of a setiment among the laity of being AMF but if their is then shame on the preacher. The AMF is NOT the church.
NO tithe is sent to the fellowship we are against that it was addressed in the formation of the fellowship.

I heard about the "light doctrine" sometime way back in the 70s. Although I was young and certainly not a great Bible scholar or anything like that it sounded 'strange" to me. I rejected it almost straightway because it didn't make sense and it didn't line up to what scripture I did know at that time.

To me you are either saved or not. There's no other position except one of those 2.

light doctrine? What does that mean? I H Terry spit nails and drank wine(for communion) maybe not in that order

. Nothing light in that dude. Also, I remember in the early days if you went to an amf meeting, you had better bring your gloves. We went to a couple when I was a kid. My dad thought there was too much fighting but did like some of the men. So with that much fussing, I would think "light" doctrine would be run out of town. Most of the cats I have met in that org are straight as arrows. I admire some of them. Steve Epley, Robert Caveness, Crawford Coon, Steve Coon, James Mustain, Darnell Fletcher, and James Groce are all men I admire. They seem to be good guys.

And Elder Steve Coon died last month.

So sad, for he was a good man that believed and preached the Apostolic message.
