Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum, Apostolic being defined as follows:
Apostolic is defined on AFF as those that believe that every sinner must repent of their sins, and that Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism. That the Holy Ghost is for today, and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life pleasing to God.

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum, Apostolic being defined as follows:
Apostolic is defined on AFF as those that believe that every sinner must repent of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. They also believe in Jesus name baptism and the oneness of the Godhead. That the Holy Ghost is for today, and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life pleasing to God.
I believe that this eliminates the propagation of the trinity doctrine and atheism, while allowing the freedom to post differences of opinion within the Apostolic church.

The reason for the suggested change is because some like myself don't believe that those that don't see eye to eye with us on the godhead or baptism formula are necessarily lost!
