Yes.
I highly recommend Christianity Without the Cross. It is not an easy read but I think it's worthwhile. It helped me to see that I really am Apostolic. I believe that there is one God and His name is Jesus. I believe that water baptism should be done in Jesus' name. I believe in the Holy Ghost Baptism. But, like the folks known as Apostolic in the early part of the 20th century, I believe that a person is justified/saved/born again by faith prior to and separate from water baptism and/or Spirit Baptism. Those folks were all one-steppers back then. This three-step message that is now prominent in the UPC was a later development among Apostolics.
