Re: Statement of Apostolic Policy
That seems to me to be exactly what happens when the Pastoral authority is over emphasized. I have seen UPC congregations fall apart when the Pastor decided to take over another church. Despite having a pastor they were like lost sheep wandering around in the wilderness. Same happens when a pastor dies. People are unable to walk on their own...

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

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