Re: Are Christians better?

Unfortunately, there are a lot of christians who do think that they are better than other people.

It was one reason why I quit going to OP churches. I could never quite measure up to the
"standards". When I did what I thought was complete standards, then there was always something else that I wasn't doing enough of or too much of. BAH!

Now I truly only worry about pleasing Jesus, who had some really profound things to say about outside white sepulchers and filth from the heart.

I don't seem to have that problem at the OP church I attend

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.

Count yourself blessed.

I must live either in a black hole or a time warp.
