Our goal should be to teach and preach the full message as taught by the Apostles. Those who have not shared that full experience have had an experience with God...however it isn't complete. Allow God alone to be that soul's judge. We can continue to admonish that all believers press forward to experience the full NT experience.
On an organizational level....
Anyone belonging to an Apostolic organization should teach, preach, and uphold the full NT experience and Apostolic teaching. That is indeed what makes us...Apostolic.

While this sounds all nice, the issue is that God has already spoken what his judgment is. Those that do not receive the Gospel and obey
Acts 2:38 will not be saved. This is the Word of God, and not my judgment.
