Can Someone be "Apostolic" and Deny Christ is God?
Can someone be Apostolic and deny the Deity of Jesus Christ?

- Every sinner must repent of their sins.
- That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
- That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
- The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Re: Can Somsone be "Apostolic" and Deny Christ is
even trinitarians don't deny the deity of Christ. You'd have to be Jehova's witness to do that. not sure what other groups do.

I think he means deny that Jesus is God.

Re: Can Somsone be "Apostolic" and Deny Christ is
Thats why I use a capital D. The Deity, not a deity like the JWs

The apostles believed that Jesus was God.

Re: Can Someone be "Apostolic" and Deny Christ is
One thousand times NO!
But since APOSTOLIC means abiding by the doctrine the apostles taught, and those who deny Jesus' deity think the apostles denied it, too, you will never get them to agree with our answers. 
Essentially, EVERYONE in ANY denomination thinks they're "apostolic." They all think they're beliefs were what the apostles proposed.

Re: Can Someone be "Apostolic" and Deny Christ is
What if I asked "Can someone be Trinitarian and deny the Deity of Christ?"
It's amazing how many come to this forum saying they are Apostolic, Oneness Pentecostal, yet deny the core doctrine of it

I was taught and used to believe that:
"Jesus is the Father,
Jesus is the Son,
Jesus is the Holy Ghost,
All three are One...."
I can still hear them singing that song right now.
I don't believe God is a committee, but the above does not agree with scripture as a whole.
There is a brother in my church who compared Jesus to Superman.
I disagreed with the comparison wholeheartedly.

Well, Isaiah 9:6 says that the child who is born is the Son who is given and He's also the Mighty God and the Everlasting Father.
And the Holy Spirit is called "Christ in you" ( Colossians 1:27); "the Spirit of Jesus Christ" ( Philippians 1:19); "the Spirit of Jesus" ( Acts 16:7); "the Spirit of the Lord" ( 2 Corinthians 3:17); and Jesus did say that He was the Comforter who was with them but would also be the Comforter in them ( John 14:16-18)
So, isn't Jesus the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost?
