Hi, just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Jeremy and I am joining the community to meet some new people and get some new perspective from people from the various walks of Apostolic faith.
I used to be a Youth Pastor and loved working with the kids. I worked in Youth Ministry for about four and a half years. A culmination of several events lead to me thinking differently about god and the things of God so I am not currently attending an Apostolic church. I do however have a great love for many of the people I went to church with and am still firmly convinced in the core message of the doctrine.
I am not interested in starting fights or being abused so people seeking conflict (not that I expect much of that) will be ignored. People interested in honest dialog are perfect though as that is exactly what I want. I know that we may at times disagree but if we do let it be in an analytical and non-antagonistic way.
I am actually hoping to find some answers here for some of my questions. I hope that this forum will be a positive step in my spiritual walk.
I am currently studying the effects of Christianity in Roman politics and playing various games on the XBOX 360. I can be found reading anything from a Bible, a political blog, a Louis LaMoure novel, a history book or a comic book. I have a pretty broad array of interests and casual hobbies so hopefully I can find some common ground with some cool people here.

Hey JEremy!!!!!! Welcome and no there are others who are not attending what is normally called a Apostolic Church..... WE are attending God's church...otherwords, Bible Believing, but not necessarily agreeing with all the traditions and standards imposed by some. Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your understanding, but in ALL your ways acknowledge him and HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH....even though it may be different than what you think or may have been told........WELCOME......

I am indeed noticing there is a pretty versatile base of believers here.
