Due to inflation, tithing has gone up from 10% to 15.4%

We give out Mc Donald's monopoly game cards in exchange for offerings.

Oh...and preachers are "mailing" it in from home

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
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.

It not that Im against these things but I am ministered to more by more "Charismatic" type worship. The Apostolic Churches I have been around lately are doing this more than the other.



Well he is asking what we as individuals have seen. Im simply reporting. I fully realize there are thousands of what are called Apostolic Churches and I have been in maybe about 20 mostly as a visitor. Nonetheless I have been Apostolic myself since 1980 so I know somewhat about these things having heard and seen things also on the net.

But I also agree the sum total of the Apostles doctrine is more than Acts 2:38. Thats the problem I have in being part of the "movement".



And about all Churches USED to have testimonies. Usually in every meeting. I can say for sure there is no testimony service or set aside time for them in the 3 Churches I have been with in later years. The Charismatic groups I used to be around always had them and so did Apostolics in the past. That doesnt mean there NEVER are testimonies. Just that its not a regular part of the meeting.



I have never heard perfection preached in an Apostolic Church. They all preach what they call "holiness" but they all (in my experience) make sure to explain their not talking about sinless perfection. They count it as false doctrine.



Admittedly there are thousands of local Churches I have not been to. I have tried various livestreams. I believe that Oneness and Acts 2:38 Churches have more truth than most simply on the basis of those 2 things. Yet the more I have "gotten out" over the years has increased my disappointment with them.

BUT.....I believe there must be good Churches somewhere. So I would recommend the thread starter Bro. Frog to start searching around. He may find something great and be able to share it with others who are looking.
Thanks for the report and additional info Michael.

I’ve been to lots of places where people do stuff that others thinks looks stupid. Our human emotion is limited and sometimes we do stupid looking stuff because of it. What is wrong with that? You must be one of them dignified folks that stand there and do nothing at church and criticize others??. Keep looking out the window if you want....
