I firmly believe that the fulness of the Apostolic Gospel is found in repentance, water baptism in Jesus name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. I believe that the whole gospel should be preached and obeyed. Those who do not obey it are typically those who are simply ignorant of the Scripture's teachings or they are in outright rebellion.

As for calling the commands we must obey the "Apostolic Gospel" we would diverge.
To be a 3-stepper you must accept the doctrine of baptismal regeneration ... and you obviously don't/
