It is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone who isn't baptized in Name of Jesus, or Lord Jesus, or Lord Jesus Christ, or whatever other variation-- IMPOSSIBLE for them to be saved! If they don't speak in tongues, they don't have the Holy Ghost inside them and they MUST BE LOST according to Oneness Pentecostal doctrine!
So helping them would be the same as helping a Muslim and the same as helping a Baptist and the same as helping a Trinitarian Pentecostal-- they are all lost and going to the same hell anyway-- that is according to 21st century American Apostolic teachings.
They aren't brothers. Any appeal to help them will then appeal to helping them as humans, but like I asked, with countless millions of humans needing help, what makes these people special?
In order to be consistent as an Apostolic, the answer can only be, "nothing".
They are not brothers. They are not sisters. They are not any more special than any other third world citizen that needs my help.
In order to be consistent as an Apostolic, until they are baptized our way and until they speak in tongues, they are not saved, not born again, not Christians and ultimately, not special in a world with countless millions who are suffering and lost.
Do I believe this way? Nope, but it is why I can't be Apostolic.
I need consistency.

That is baloney, I am an Apostolic and I do not teach what you are saying.
We do not condemn all other Christians to hell or say they are not really saved.
Just because we teach baptism in the name of Jesus does not mean that we automatically condemn all Trinitarians to Hell.
you are just blowing a whole lot of crazy smoke, you need to quit smoking that stuff from Mexico.
