Is there anyone who is Apostolic anymore?

[AreYouReady?]

The Forum has defined what Apostolic is many times.

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

There is One God. This one God reveals Himself as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.



Clothing standards are not listed.

Who would not think that this post in it's content is critical about people who do not adhere to the "old standards and ways"? I read it as he is referring to people who do not live those old standards and ways as backslid. And he is angry about it...so this can be thought of as a debate intent? Was anything mentioned about what his family was doing in their lives to be deserving of the label of "backslid"?

Are they doing any or all of the things in Galatian 5?

Perhaps we should establish exactly what the definition of "backslid" is because people have and do use the term way too loosely.
