Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

This is for everyone who doesn't have a life. Kind of ironic, the name of this forum is Apostolic Friends. Having read some of the threads, AFF Doesn't sound to friendly. "By this shall all men know that you are my disciples.....". Apostolic? I know "Apostolic". I know "Friends". A "Friend" loveth at ALL times. Are there any Friends here or just "Apostolics"? By the way.....Before you ask.....I am Apostolic/Pentecostal.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Hi Robby. Before you ask, I am not. :)

P.S. Since this is for everyone who doesn't have a life, probably you won't get many responses. I have a life but am having some downtime at the moment.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Some are both, some aren't. Some are one and not always the other. We are all however, people. Welcome to AFF.

Question.

Did you join the forum before or after you made this observation?

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

You are not what? Apostolic? Friend?

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

I am not Apostolic.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

I joined the forum after making the observation. As to the reason joining AFF. Salt & Light.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

After.:)

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Really? What are you?

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

So you're lightly salted and that's why you joined?

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

It is what it is... :heart

This may help a bit with your understanding... State of the Forum Address

Welcome to AFF! :wave

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Well all I can say is... you knew what you were getting into. :)

All kidding aside... welcome. And I hope you enjoy yourself here. I look forward to fruitful conversations and friendly interactions.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Ex-apostolic. I guess I thought that was obvious.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Not really. Being not something does not tell me what you currently are.

For example if I asked "what football team do you like" and you replied "well Im an x-redskins fan" does not answer the question of what football team do you like :-)

Baptist? trinitarian? Methodist?

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Well, I haven't been going anywhere lately.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

one of the things salt does is to irritate and you will see some of than on this forum

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Robby, just remember this: It isn't a sin to be annoying. ;)

Also, family members don't always agree with one another. At least, that's how it is in our house. We still love each other, though.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

I have a life! I'm not Apostolic. But I try to be friendly. I happen to have befriended a few people who post here. :D

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Salt does cause irritation. Sometimes the light is to bright. From all appearances being a member of this forum qualifies one to say anything about anyone. All under the guise of "truth". Don't misunderstand, I love truth. Still in all, just being a member of this forum does not give us a monopoly on truth or the right to offend.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Is this post about doctrinal positions, gossipy threads or both? :coffee2

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

I think you carried the salt analogy way too far! :) Jesus wasn't telling us to irritate others because salt irritates things. He was telling us to preserve and redeem the world around us, because that's what salt does.

Speaking of analogies, if you really wanted to make a difference, and that was your mission on AFF (God-called you to AFF), you may want to try honey instead of vinegar. With your type of introduction, you will only attract flies.

Good luck, Prophet Robby.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

I am a christian...

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

I think we already have some irritants, such is life.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

:thumbsup
:thumbsup

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Socialite.....Please read the entire thread. The reference made about salt being an irritant was in response to one of our friends who posted. As to the prophetic implication, sorry.....you're wrong. My apologies for the offense.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Sister Alvear: Thanks for the intro. Missions is a passion of mine. My family has been supported missions since the mid 1930's. Your family has a great calling.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Thank you, Robbie I am consumed with a burden for missions...it is my every waking thought...

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Gossipy threads. These do tremendous harm. If you cannot support your case without using personal references, you have a weak case. This thread is about positive affirmation, not negative defamation.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Ive said it before Robby, most are exes with axes,but some good can be found.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

What makes you think Socialite didn't read the whole thread? I read it all, and her post still made a good point.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Ex-Apostolics are welcome. Axes are not. :)

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Yeah, but.........:smack

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

I do acknowledge her point. I made the initial reference about salt.....but not about it being an irritant.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Dewd, you just come here and tell us who's welcome and who's not in your first thread? :laffatu

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Everyone is welcome.......just not the axes. :-)

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

I've made a lot of friends on this forum. :)

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Welcome friend.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

As far as what you believe?

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
 

Hi! I am apostolic. Friendly? Well? I will let you be the judge to that. But I wanted to say, Hi. I just joined AFF last nite. I was searching for a gospel song and somehow came across this site. So I figured that since I was Apostolic that I would join it to check it out.
