1 Steppers would be considerd baptist,3stepppers would be consider apostolic but there are some one stepper apostolics it all depends on at which point you think you are saved I don't know what you consider to be saved most on here would say repent,be baptised in jesus name (not titles)if thats what you call them and be filled with the holyghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. You must be new so welcome. You will get many opinions on this site so enjoy...
1 Steppers baptize in Jesus name, preach repentance and that tongues is the or an evidence of the baptism of the Spirit. They don't teach water baptism or tongues is essential...thus the 1 step
__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
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 prefer 2 step, but have been known to rip a mean 18 step.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter
Three Steppers are Line Dancers in disguise... the steps never end.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
