I would like to contend that if the Apostles were alive today they would continue to be champions of the following tenents!

They would teach the Oneness of God and against the doctrine of trinitarianism.

They would teach the absoulute necessity of the fulfillment of Acts 2:38 Salvation.

They would teach Separation from the world and a holiness lifestyle.

They would teach against television!

They would teach against Apostolic ladies cutting or dying their hair.

They would teach short hair on men.

They would teach against cosmetics.

They would teach that ladies should wear dresses/ skirts and men should wear pants.

They would teach against organized sports.

They would teach against jewelry of any kind.

They would teach that the knees need to be covered at ALL times when in public.

They would probably even teach sleeves AT LEAST to the elbow.

Many other things would they teach, and certainly they would be the center of much ridicule.

Most of all, however, they would teach “Love your brother even when he hates you!”

I really do love being Apostolic!
I don't want or care about an self titled "Apostolic Inheritance", it's true. I want and care about the Lord's inheritance! I want and care nothing for traditions unless they are the ones God prescribes in the bible

You might like to contend but where the rubber meets the road is what the bible says or does not say on the issues
