But I understand where UCs could feel hurt,and I certainly won't mock them.
The UCs were never the only group in this org...they might have been the most vocal or in control longer or whatever but many others put a lot into this group and in fact were kicked out, forced out, marginalized or whatever...this org has become something it was never meant to be. It seems the org became an Idol rather than a means of unifying all OPs to evangelize this world.

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
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.

I don't agree with this Statement. No one has made an Idol out of an organzation- never seen anyone bow before a UPC statue or anything AND everyone is trying to evangelize their area regardless if they are not using a TV. even those that want to advertise have evangelized their communities w/o it.

An idol doesn't have to tangible to be worshipped.
