Until we can get back to the Bible, we'll never know will we?
What I do know is this... I've been out of the institutional churches of Apostolic Christianity since 2008. I've spent that time worshipping alone in exile, worshipping with brethren in various churches on occasion, worshipping with brethren who felt disenfranchised, and even worshipping with non-Apostolics... and I'm still Apostolic. I firmly believe in Oneness and
Acts 2:38 salvation. That's ten years. The only things that have fallen to the wayside in my life are the specific standards that are not taught in Scripture. In a very real sense, throughout these ten years, all I've had to lean on are the words of Jesus, the Psalms of David, and the teachings of Paul. I pray three times a day, speak in tongues every day, and I still believe in and experience the gifts regularly.
And though I've been out of the institutional Apostolic churches for 10 years... I have good friends and family in them. I've watched. I've watched as people have fallen away, become disenchanted, etc... and I normally don't see them keep the faith for 6 months after they disappear from the pews.
And, lastly, the only thing that makes atheists smile is when people who say they believe the Bible feel the need to not obey it or add to it. Because the atheist reasons that if it were indeed the Word of God, we'd obey it and not have the need to add to it.
