No, they think you're heretics because of your doctrines on baptism andin some cases tongues. They think you're a little weird because of the standards issues. They think you're a cult because of the abuse of pastoral authority. And in some cases they're right!

They use the word cult, but there is a distinction between a "doctrinal cult" and a dangerous mind control like cult. People don't realize that. Even the cult hunters make the disinction

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.
