So if the name over the door says "Apostolic" thats all that matters? You said you must belong to a body of "believers". Im trying to find out what they believe that makes them so special I cant be saved without them.

Perhaps I should ask the obvious, as I take for granted that it should be obvious what is believed by an Apostolic Pentecostal. What do you believe?

Obvious?

Do they believe in a post tribulation rapture? Soul sleep? Annihilation of the wicked? Men having beards and women wearing head covering? No women Pastors? Sinless perfection? No tithing law and Christmas and Easter being pagan?

So this is the body of believers we must be part of ? Cant be saved apart from?

Ah, so you are a loner, a lone wolf so to speak. I understand. Still, the Bible dies state, not forsaking the assembly of yourselves.😎

No I dont think you understand. If my Church were the only Apostolic Church in the region would you attend?

My point is what makes a Church....from Gods viewpoint?

I don't think you understand, I live in a city with the same population as the City of Chicago. We have 2.5 million people.
In that area we have 12 UPC Churches ranging from Very Conservative to middle of the road, to more liberal. Now, in that mix of course there is differing views of doing Church. Some I feel more comfortable than others for various reasons, but if I had no choice, I would be attending one of those Churches if I didn't have a home Church. I would be in prayer before settling myself. Yes, I do need to go to an Apostolic Pentecostal Church.

Is that what makes a church from God's viewpoint? Are you understanding the questions?
