Changing Denominations
 
It is time. I have tried, tried, fought it and fought it but kept doing the same things over and over again. I am no longer Pentecostal/Apostolic. A good friend told me, not too long ago in fact, that I should join a Methodist church and forget about it. Well, a Methodist I am not, but I am now officially..."A Christian".

Blessings, Rhoni

Could you define "Christian" for us please ?

Would you mind sharing your "Statement of Faith" ?

How about "What you Believe" ?

Do you agree with any of the following ? ~~

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

Those that believe that 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.

Not a big surprise. There are many on here that are in the same boat, they just have the Apostolic bumper stickers still.

Regarding the latter part of what you said... then there's hope! :)

Methodists believe in a triune godhead, a trinity, is that really what you believe Rhoni?

Sorry to see you leave us. Not sure where you will end up there. You will be pretty much alone most of the time.
I am sure there will still be some Pentecostal/Apostolics around if you change your mind.

My mistake, I read it wrong. Let me say that I have disassociated myself from denominations myself. I classify myself as an independent Oneness. The more I see of denominational hierarchy the more I hate it.

God bless you in your walk Rhoni.

Christian is a good choice.

There's way too few of them around a lot of churches.

But, you don't have to leave Pentecostal to become Christian.

I have received what is termed "The APostolic Experience" but no longer claim to be Apostolic. I really don't believe in the cultish practices of the religiosity that many Apostolic Churches profess/teach/and exploit.

If the admin would like me to disappear for not claiming to be Apostolic in denomination then I will. Although we have many people on here that don't calim to be "Apostolic" or go to those type of churches themselves any longer.

Blessings, Rhoni
