Nobody I asked even wanted to discuss it. They were all afraid of being either being wrong or being quoted. There's some real disconnects when it comes to some of our pet doctrines and the Bible. John 3:5 is another example. Acts 2:15 is a doozy. |
Well, if we are truely Apostolics as we claim to be, we MUST follow the scriptures wherever they lead us, even to unpopular conclusions. The trinity comes to mind and Jesus name baptism.
An Apostolic is one that teaches ONLY what the Apostles believed and taught, as Jesus instructed them.
If God opens my understanding in my search for more truth, then I, as an Apostolic will follow Him.
