Thus, under such a definition, the AFF would probably NOT represent Apostolica as a whole.
Personally, I loosely define Apostolic doctrine as anyone who believes in one God, who follows Peter's instructions for salvation, who believe in being filled with the Holy Ghost, initially evidenced by speaking in tongues, and further evidenced by the fruit of the spirit, and those who follow New Testament teachings, e.g., the "Apostles' doctrine."
As far as I know, the above definition encompasses the majority of this forum, hence my vote of "Yes."

Thanks for posting. I never comment on this subject. It's too emotionally involved.
