When the "leaders" of the movement publically compare one another to excrement, I'd say that the tone has become offensive. FWIW - AFF is far more civil than the Apostolic movement in general; and I'm just talking about the way the movement speaks of and to itself.

Not so much Pel. The Pastor I had until I was 15 yrs. old was a very kind and loving person. I never heard him say anything remotely rude or disrespectful about anyone. I have no idea what is said among ministers either. I have been away from the UPC churches for over 35 years. I live in a small town and can honestly say I have no idea what you are talking about. My present pastor I have only known for a short time. He is very kind and loving. I was very shocked when I first came to AFF to see a lot of people's disdain for other apostolics. And they have a lot of excuses for it. But it comes down to personal accountability, just because someone is rude doesn't mean I have to respond in kind. There are ways to get your point across without being offensive.
