On principle, isn't this the case for every Christian denomination, though? Most believe that you must be saved or you will be lost, and they have various ideas about how one is saved. That isn't unique to Apostolics. Pretty much, if you believe you know what one must do to be "saved", then it follows that you also believe that if they do not do whatever it requires, they will be lost.
