I'm just not familiar with the term "emerging church". But the book of Revelation does say to "come out of her my people.......". Maybe we're still in the process of coming out.....

Right Sis. Sarah. Apostolics are not protestants.

How utterly ignorant.

"Apostolics" would not exist if not for some holiness-minded Methodists that got a hold of God over in Topeka around the turn of the twentieth century.

Talk about revisionist history?!

But we weren't supposed to be a split off or the child of the Methodist church, you see, we went back and experienced the restoration of the apostolic Christian church.

Is this yet another, "Inconvenient Truth?"


Or another question is could it be possible that God saved souls who were Catholic, living what they knew?

In the Dark Ages, the avg Serf couldn't read you know.

However for some, the answer is a resounding, "No, they were all lost and all are burning in hell and have been there since 1492!"

No scripture for it, but somehow that just never sat right with me.

I understand you not understanding. The Acts 2:38, Jesus name Church has existed since the day of pentecost. I understand where your coming from.. as far as trinity guys in N. America getting a revelation.. and so forth.. but the true Church, the Bride of Christ, did not rise from false doctrine. It started in Acts chapter 2. God bless.

If it wouldn't have been for the ONE GOD we would not be here. It is by the ONE GOD we are here, and not by anything else. It is HIS WORD, HIS SPIRIT, HIS WILL, HIS POWER, HIS CHURCH, HIS PLAN, AND HIS GRACE.

There has always been a oneness Jesus name preacher in every age from Pentecost to today, somewhere in the world.

Really?

Pretty bold statement. Care to document it? Or if you'd like to just go off your memory, that's cool.

Yes. Grab your bible. That's all the documentation we need.

Obviously, the Oneness of God and Jesus name message were preached by the Apostles from the very beginning. [There should be little or no dispute about that fact around here.]

And Jesus said... "Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it". (Matt 16:18)

The meaning of that verse doesn't need much further clarification. It's telling us the church would be engaged in war against the Devil's kingdom, but the Devils kingdom would never prevail. If you're assuming that there was a time where the original gospel disappeared off the face of the earth, then you are contradicting the clear word of scripture.

Bologna.

There were many times in history when there was not a hint of what we teach now as "the gospel." I think you are intimating that "the gospel" is Acts 2:38, which is a classic Oneness misnomer. The Gospel is the good news of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. It is true that this "original gospel" has never disappeared.

However, what we consider Apostolic truth is less than a century old.
