No...I would not.

No...I would not feel comfortable calling it "unethical or immoral".

For me....it would mean that I would have to take time away from what I'm really suppose to be doing...feeding/caring/loving these sheep. I cannot justify wasting time in vain pursuits.

Ok, so it is unethical and immoral. Would you, as a pastor, be OK with that church regularly attending your services then at the end approaching those saints in YOUR church and trying to get them to leave and join their church....all things considered...that church is practicing something you called unethical and immoral...as a Pastor would you be comfortable with them getting members of your congregation to join them?

Seems to me if you really cared about the sheep, you would seek to prevent that

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.
