I know for me, that this logic has NOTHING to do with the reasons I miss my former Apostolic fellowship.
Could it be that people who leave the Apostolic faith to attend another church and desire or even decide to return to the Apostolic faith are people that God is drawing back for His Purposes?
Does God have absolutely nothing to do at all with a persons desire and/or decision to return to their Apostolic roots?
Are the prayers of the Apostolics who are indeed praying for people who have left the Apostolic church-- could Jason's returning be, in part, due to their prayers?
Could Jason's returning be an answer to some Apostolic's fervent and consistent prayers?
