Especially when tv has virtually no redeeming value.

The same cannot be said of the internet.
Then encourage them make good decisions. Teach them how to tell what sort of programming to stay away from. Teach what worldliness is then they can not only use it OUT there in the world and on the internet but on TV too. This is a principle we need for life everywhere. Just legislating "no TV" is not going to make them more spiritual.

And it remains to be seen that TV has "virtually no redeeming value"...that's the same broken record we here over and over as if we are all supposed to just agree with you on it. I do not agree with you on it. It's not TV that has redeeming value or does not have redeeming value and neither does the Internet. They are both neutral mediums that can be used for whatever purpose that people use it for. Same goes for print and radio. We didn't let the devil have the internet all to himself, why do the same with TV?

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
