There is no way that anyone who has been here more than a month can say that the above, especially the bold, has been enforced or adhered to.

That really is a more complex issue and I'm sure it confounds the admin team at times. For example:
My beliefs tend to put me in the "1 Stepper" camp. When it comes down to the term "
Apostolic doctrine" I am persuaded that I am following in the truest pattern of Apostolic teachings and beliefs as evidenced by the writings of the early 20th century Apostolic pioneers.
However, when an ardent "3 Stepper" comes into the fray, they may feel threatened when I don't agree with their statement "
All 'trinnies' are LOST!" I can support my argument from the Bible and especially from the writings of our early 20th century Apostolic pioneers. Yet my "3 Stepper" brother may complain that I'm "tearing down" Oneness doctrine.
How should the admin team handle something like this?
