Hello

Hi all. I was raised UPC/Apostolic and left as a teenager. Some bad things happened... but that was a long time ago. So... I'm slightly considering coming back. Love Jesus, but not so sure about the whole concept of actually joining a church again.

So, why am I here. Basically, I wanted to get to know some Apostolic people. All the bad stuff that happened to me within an Apostolic church was a long time ago, I'd like to forget all that and discover for myself what the Apostolic community is like now. I've lurked here for awhile, some AFF threads came up in a random search I did and when I started reading I was pleasantly surprised. There wasn't nearly as much.. um... I don't know what word to use but lets just say the kindness and Biblical views expressed by several here were not at all like my memories of growing up Apostolic. lol

So, hi everyone, look forward to getting to know you.

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.

Re: Hello

Welcome to the group.

I hope you find a good church where you feel welcome and acceptable, whether it is an Apostolic Church of not.
