My pastor preached a tremendous message Sunday night on keeping our Apostolic inheritance. It really stirred me. He preached about how Naboth refused to sell out his vineyard and that many in the OP movement are selling their vineyard.
I would like to contend that if the Apostles were alive today they would continue to be champions of the following tenents!
They would teach the Oneness of God and against the doctrine of trinitarianism.
Agreed
They would teach the absoulute necessity of the fulfillment of
Acts 2:38 Salvation.
Agreed
They would teach Separation from the world and a holiness lifestyle.
Agreed
They would teach against television!
Disagree (I believe they'd teach that we should guard ourselves against all worldly entertainment on the internet, television, and radio. However, they'd not teach that we not use television, the internet, or radio.)
They would teach against Apostolic ladies cutting or dying their hair.
Disagree (uncut hair doctrine is unbiblical. However, long hair for a woman is biblical. I also don't believe they'd focus on dying the hair unless it was extreme an unnatural color.)
They would teach short hair on men.
Agreed
They would teach against cosmetics.
Disagree (I think they'd teach against pride about one's looks and seduction... but not all cosmetics.)
They would teach that ladies should wear dresses/ skirts and men should wear pants.
Disagree (I believe they'd teach modesty in dress. However, I don't believe pants vs. skirts/dresses would be a hill they'd die on.)
They would teach against organized sports.
Disagree (I think they'd teach against being obsessed with any kind of sport.)
They would teach against jewelry of any kind.
Disagree (I believe they'd teach against the use of immodest and extravagant jewelry.)
They would teach that the knees need to be covered at ALL times when in public.
Agreed
They would probably even teach sleeves AT LEAST to the elbow.
Agreed
Many other things would they teach, and certainly they would be the center of much ridicule.
Agreed
Most of all, however, they would teach “Love your brother even when he hates you!”
AGREED
I really do love being Apostolic!
