Who said anything changed?

The first sentence stated "a clearer definition" or if you like, a reminder.

Oh okay. Thanks.

I'm sure we can all rest easy now that someone was placated with a clearer definition ... now back to posting.

[chaotic_resolve]

Apostolic is defined on AFF as those that believe that every sinner must repent of their sins, and 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.

I'm still Apostolic!

It is always good to get the vision before the people from time to time.

"Write the vision...make it plain..."

That's okay by me, as long as I don't get harrassed over it.

me too, ILG. But that's ok, cuz I still love everyone here.

I promise not to make a big deal out of our differences if you promise not to give me a hard time over them.

Just thought it was always like that so I am not sure what has changed.

When I read the email my first reaction was that if we all just keep behaving ourselves, no one will have to feel the need to be offended by anything in here.

I still stand by that.

Rhoni,

Nothing has changed. We are not becoming an exclusive club or anything. This was just an effort to bring a little clarity to what the foundation of the forum is, since we really have never addressed it. While we still welcome conversation from non-apostolic folks, as our rules already state, we will not allow the tearing down of the Apostolic faith.

Thank-you for clarification St. Matthew. I have been working hard the past few weeks and I thought I had missed something.
