But if the Apostolics are wrong, then it will only be by the Grace of God that they will stand shoulder to shoulder with their Trinitarian brothers and sisters in eternity.

Did you notice that nothing you ever post (concerning this topic) has anything to do with the Word? What is truth? If truth even matter to your God? Elder Epley believes what he believes because he sees it in the scripture. You don't see what he sees and therefore you believe your right and everyone else is wrong, saved, but wrong? Bro, that just doesn't fly. You have issues with 'CONGREGATIONS" not Apostolics across the board. Because in the Apostolic movement you have more flavors than Baskin and Robbins. If I made my decisions according to my feelings, being hurt or being caressed, I would get nowhere in life.
Trinitarians view God three sided, they literally see Him as three separate people. Please don't post to me that they see Him as singular or that they believe Jesus is God. Because they believe Jesus is a god, and God is the Father. They believe salvation is just accepting Jesus (which for the life of me doesn't make any sense) or recite some incantation "sinner's prayer" like it is a magic spell. A vast majority of Christendom? Seriously? Bro, I have family members who are Roman Catholics and the "vast majority" mantra were chanted by them long before you or I were born. Anyone who was not a part of the Roman Catholic Church had NO salvation up till Vatican II. After that they started to open their arms to one and all. Now the Eastern Orthodox are still hanging in there with the mindset if you are not Orthodox you have NO salvation.
But where do these groups get these ideas? Because Jesus said Narrow is the path, and extremely tight is the door that leads to eternal life and FEW there are who will find it. Even my atheist father figured that one out, but he was always honest with himself and his family.He liked to call'em like he saw'em. He hated Christians for one reason, they NEVER read, or followed their book, or the God of their book. (my father's words not mine). He would follow his statement with this.."If Jesus would come back in the flesh today the Christians would drag Him behind a truck and strip Him bare, then nail Him to the cross again. My father's words not mine.
JD, this isn't about nice people telling you praise the Lord while they are dishing you out some cheesy corn bake, at a dinner on the grounds. Or worship services with everyone hands lifted shoulder height swaying back and forth to Hillsong.
This is about Truth, and making it through the narrow path and making into the tight gate.
