Ok, so I'm wasting time on Facebook, and It's telling me to join various groups, one of which is an Apostolic Group, curious as to why it would tell me that, I clink on it, and it turns out that I have friends who are in the group. Anyway, the group calls itself "One God Apostolic Pentecostals" and describes itself as such:
Quote:
We believe in One God and His name is Jesus.
We believe in traditional marriage.
Being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ not His titles.
Talking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance which is the initial evidence of receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Being separate from the world.
Living a life acceptable to our Lord and seeking His will in our lives.
Doing our part in reaching the lost.
We desire revival in our lives as well as our church.
Praying and seeking out our Lord on a daily basis.
Reading and studying the bible on a daily basis.
We believe in having church like the bible instructs, we do not believe in being pew warmers.
We are not afraid to lift our hands in praise and worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We are not ashamed of these truths.

Really??? 1st one God who is Jesus, 2nd Traditional Marriage, followed by baptism, tongues and separation....
I don't know why, but this truly truly shocked me. What's will they add next? Hating Obamacare?
It's one thing to have a conviction, but another completely to define yourself (and others) by your conviction. And to actually make it 2nd, like your stance on gay marriage is more important in the definition of an Apostolic Christian, then baptism or the Holy Ghost.
I feel strangely disappointed in...I don't know...whoever wrote the list, or affirmed it....or something.....I don't know it just makes me sad.
