Love the "backslid out of church" quote (not really). First, the word is "backslidden" not "backslid". Second, many of us who have left the traditional OP denominations have found a lot of grace, love, fruit of the Spirit, gifts of the Spirit and a world of people who aren't self righteous elitists who think that they are the only ones going to heaven. What I have discovered outside of the Apostolic movements I grew up around reflects more of what the Apostles were and did than what I experienced and observed and practiced in the movement. There are many wonderful Christians within the Ap movement. There are many outside of it too.
And the guy in your avatar? Probably wouldn't be very well received in most Ap churches...
