We should also be up front about what the 20th century "Apostolic Faith" people taught, as you've clearly done.
"We" used to be Trinitarians until some of the Trinitarians started to insist upon triple immersion. Something about that caused us to question why and we were confronted with start tritheism in our midst. The answer for that was popularized at the Arroyo Seco camp ground with Jesus name baptism and eventually the Might God in Christ.
But "we" were Trinitarians. Trinitarians were our brothers. We suffered together, we prayed together, we received the baptism of the Holy Ghost together. That really did happen.

We're not on the same page, bro. Not even close.
You seem to trace your spiritual heritage back to the early 1900's. I trace mine back to the day of Pentecost, as do many of my fellow brethren.
What some now refer to as "PAJC-type" apostolic doctrine is not an "innovation" that began in the early 1900s, as you seem to think. Using that logic, one could also [wrongly] conclude that Jesus name baptism was also an "innovation" just because the early 1900's Pentecostals were originally baptizing in titles.

On a related note, I'd recommend the book Apostolic History Outline.

I thoroughly enjoy it. It gives it a "real" magazine look. And the site didn't start out as an e-zine. I've had a blog for several years (starting with Blogger) and never really quite got any traffic -- which wasn't a problem necessarily -- then a few months back I decided to "feature" friends articles focused on spirituality. Suddenly I started getting more and more hits... **grin** my friends are more popular than I... that was the beginning of the e-zine.
In Jan we are going to do a podcast -- a comedic one, or funny to my and the guy that is doing it with me.
I should also warn that I don't fit into anyone of the categories that I asked about earlier. In fact, while I do claim to be Christian, I'm not quite sure I fit in there completely either. That said, feel free to swing through, read some, and comment if you want...  (unabashedly asking for traffic ).

Bro. Slatter ... do you prefer Wordpress to Blogger? And if so , what have you found to be the key differences or advantages of one over the other?

**grin** nah, I don't make them... usually I pull the images from downloading backgrounds from their sites or whatever. Plus they (the reviews) only use the photo if they are on the front page. I haven't really chased down the legalities of it all. I'm not making money or anything so I'm not that worried about it.

Bro. TRFrance,
not trying to be argumentative, but those we classify as "one-steppers" and those we classify as "three-steppers" both trace their heritage to Pentecost as recorded in Acts chapter 2.

I do like WP over blogger. Mainly just a preference more than anything. I hear that blogger is much better now than before but also keep in mind that I host my blog locally and not in a community site.
All of that said, anytime someone asks me I push WP. I've used it almost since it first came out and really like it. It is very, very customizable when hosted on a local account.

The Reformers bypassed the RCC and went directly back to the Bible to try to trace their heritage...sola scripture... as did many who tried to reform the church from early times accusing leadership (the popes) of diverging away from what Jesus taught.

Well, Sam, not to be argumentative, so do the Roman Catholics... do you see yourself on par with the Roman Catholics?
Your assertion doesn't seem to have much to do with the statement that TRFrance made relative to Pelathais' implying our heritage began in the early 1900s.
