I'm sorry. You've lost me. Are you saying that you are not apostolic? I thought all this time you were.

I don't hang that label on myself, any longer, Rico, no. I couldn't care less about wearing that label.

Ok. Does this mean you don't believe in Jesus Name baptism, speaking in tongues, Oneness, etc. anymore? Standards aren't what makes someone apostolic. What makes someone apostolic is following the apostle's doctrine 'cause they're the ones Jesus entrusted the Church with and they're the ones He used to give us instructions on the New Covenant.

Yes, I 'believe' in Jesus' Name Baptism... Yes, I 'believe' in speaking in tongues... Yes, I'm Oneness to the core...


Funny how when someone no longer calls themself "apostolic", others immediately assume they "don't belive nuttin" anymore.


Rico, feel free to think whatever it is that you'd like to think about me.

Makes no difference to me really. I still love ya like a brother... even if you don't consider me yours.

You know, Brother Epley, the way I have been feeling the last month or so I would almost be willing to give someone like you a shot, mainly because you say you don't micro manage people's lives and whatnot. Changing the way I dress and shaving this beard really wouldn't be that big a sacrifice for me to make in order to get back the things that are most important to me, even though I don't believe for one second that following dress codes will have an impact on my making Heaven my home. Well, we'd definitely butt heads too much on tv though.

Ron, stop jumping to conclusions. I haven't accused you of abandoning core apostolic beliefs. I am just trying to get an idea of what you meant when you said you are not apostolic any more.

That's usually the intent...
