Re: Are All the Apostolics Gone from AFF?
Well, I've been away from the forum for a while. Today I checked in and looks like it's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Each of us has his/her own definition of "Apostolic." In the eyes of many of us we each think we are "Apostolic" and anyone who does not agree with us completely is somewhat less Apostolic.
What spiritual pride! What exclusiveness!
The Roman Catholic Church uses the term "Apostolic" in its name and so do some of the various eastern Orthodox Churches. The group/cult in Zion, Illinois called themselves "Apostolic" back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. When the Holy Spirit was poured out at 312 Azusa Street they used the term "Apostolic." Now we have a little group who want to exclude anyone who does not believe some of the narrow minded doctrines of some of the UPC, AMF, etc and say they are not "real Apostolics." Shame on you.
Apostolics are a lot more diverse than our own personal narrow-minded opinion.
