Over all, however, I agree with your "rant." It is "easier" to get "saved" in a UPC style church than it is to "stay saved." That's why we cycle through so many people. The whole org seems designed to chew up human beings and spit them out. There's really very little about actually living in grace.

If you don't like the "standards," no problem. Get Out! We'll find another poor sucker to fill your pew.
If this were the case, wouldn't there be a lot of independent Oneness. 1 step, no standard churches that are packed?

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
