Dan, if it still needs to defined, I will try...
wheither or not anyone admits it, this board is a decendant of Faithchildforum.com
The goal there was to bring together all aspects of the Apostolic movement together, to discuss the important issues that impact our common faith.
Clearly that demonstraits 2 things.
Frist that there are more than 1 or even 2 strains of thought within what one would call the Pan-
Apostolic movement.
Secondly, we have some things in common.
So what is an Apostolic?
Well it cannot be the things we dont agree on, so we have to determine where we do find common ground.
Those would be
1. Oneness theology to be an Apostolic here starts with this. We agree that there is One God. We agree in the Mighty God in Christ.
- we might not agree that you have to be oneness to be saved
- we might not agree completely in the modelist monarchist view of Oneness
but we agree that there is One God and he has shown himself to us in the form of Jesus Christ
2. We believe in Jesus Name baptism
we might not all agree that it is necessary for salvation but we all agree that this is the proper methodology for baptism
we might not all agree that those who have been baptized improperly arent saved but if asked how we baptize, it will be in Jesus Name.
3. We believe in the Holy Ghost.
We believe in and practice speaking in other tongues
Again, we may not agree on the value or salvational impact but we all agree that God did not cease tongues in the first church the way many evangelicals think.
4. we can trace our historical roots to the early 1900 pentecostal Holy Ghost outpouring.
Being Apostolic doesnt make one saved. Being Apostolic only explains ones approach to the Christian faith.
