Something that has been on my mind
1 Cor 15:33
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
KJV
Have you ever seen good people destroyed by the company they keep?
Anyone have any ideas how to help people you see that others are destroying?

Prayer...sounds simple and may even sound trite to some, but often words do nothing but gender strife.
Prayer is the key...

Re: Something that has been on my mind
i agree also that prayer is really the key to living a good apostolic lifestyle. but i was wondering, what is there to do when the person refuses to pray? i have a few friends i would love to help in the chruch, and i see them slowly slipping away from god, but i am also noticing that no matter what we try to do, they are continuing this downward path. not even our pastor can get her to be more involved, and Ken Bow is our pastor
. i mean, we just had anniversary services this weekend, and i saw that everyone in the services was touched and moved except for her. and suggestions?

I have and I wish I did. If you get any good advice on it I will have to try it. I have a friend who is getting way off into the 'name' thing and getting so wrapped up in Rather we should really use the name Jesus or go to the original Hebrew and use that as his name. He is getting really mixed up and nothing any of us have been able to say has been able to help him. He is starting to believe in Jesus being a heathen word derived by Catholicism to fool millions.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

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.

I think it depends on the person, but most often Barb, I think you are right.
