If this is so, I think that someone somewhere has sold you a pack of lies. Do perhaps some people teach it looser than others, sure! But I think some people make judgments on stuff like this because of things they are told by someone else who has an agenda.
I don't fault anyone for following their convictions or even forming their own fellowship. But I do have a problem with those people thinking they have right to proclaim everyone else who doesn't do it the way that they do it are "going to hell".
As to your question, no I don't think that everyone that calls them self Apostolic is going to heaven, just like I don't think that everyone that is UPC, AMF, WWPF, AA, or any other acronyms you want to throw together is going to heaven. I don't think everybody in my church is going to heaven, but I also don't think that is my job to start picking out the ones from any of these groups that I think are the ones who aren't going to make it. Why on earth would I want that responsibility, and what kind of witness of the love of Christ would I be showing if I started doing that?
The bottom line is, no matter what side of the fence that you fall down on, I DO believe that the ones that make it to heaven will be the ones who have had Christian charity and love for their fellow man, along with whatever standards and requirements that they have or have not followed.

Is there something wrong with starting a camp meeting? Just checking.
