Arnold's Proof of Apostolic Doctrine in History

[Charnock]

In this pdf, Marvin Arnold "proves" that the Apostolic church has been alive and well since Pentecost.

"This book asserts that the UPPER ROOM CHURCH of Acts, Jerusalem, AD 33, was alive and doctrinally intact in every century until this moment. It never died-ceased to function-or digressed into something else."

[Charnock]

"BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY--meaning The Jerusalemic (Apostolic) CHURCH depicted in Acts two--made its way from AD 33 through every AGE into the 20th century doctrinally intact and fully operable! St. Mt. 16:18 is accurate: "The gates of hell had not prevailed against the Church." St. Peter's (basic) divine ecclesiology that constitutes Acts 2:38 was fully preached in every single decade! "Christ had not left Himself without witness." (Acts 14:17). Always some wise and Scripturally conscious persons utilized Acts 2:1-4, 2:38 and Deuteronomy 6:4. We have seen proofs of such phenomena in this book. NOTE: (Pentecostal) Christianity did not originate at Topeka or Azusa, nor was it revised or restored there! From 1556 through 1909-thus independent of Topeka or Azusa there had continued Apostolic colonies in Moravia."

Amen. Gotta love this kind of "Stuff". The holes in his research are unending, leaving the reader chasing his/her tail.

I briefly examined the document and it resembles others I have looked at, which make bold clarifications without truly clarifying.

Even the UPCI would not publish or sell this stuff. It's full of holes

This is the ultracons way of getting around those pesky issues attached to the early 20th century Pentecostals like facial hair, jewelry, Light Doctrine and such.

For all of their talk about the "old paths" they sure do love to throw their forbears under the bus.
