I happen to believe what Steph quoted and yet someone like the poster Kyle Stout who started this thread would probably say that I too am an "Ex- Apostolic."

But if that's the defined identity, that sounds quite narrow IMO.
Does the statement say we must believe that "tongues are essential for salvation?"

Re: This forum needs a name change...
I never checked in and read all the forum statements before I began posted.
I identified with the topic, saw the name and realized virtually everyone in this forum shares a common experience, background and even current story as my own.

I am going to include myself in the Conservative voice that has become quiet. In the grander scheme of things, it doesn't seem important anymore.

HI PO!!!
So good to see you here, if only for a little while!

LOL! I have been involved in politics ever since my mother took on the school board in the 70's and began homeschooling. A major newspaper in San Antonio interviewed her. She is my hero! I also spoke at the Washington Conference on Families when I was 20. You can imagine how surprised I was when in a packed auditorium, not a pin dropped during my speech. I felt anointed. LOL! I am hopelessly political. It's in my blood.

Hey, old friend! Good to see you as well. It is freezing here and I can say that because it's 31! We South Texas people don't know what to do in this type of weather. It's supposed to snow Thursday night. I will love that for about 5 minutes. LOL! Take care!

It is up to the admin to determine if someone is "tearing down" or destroying Apostolic doctrine, rather than just discussing it.
Please report posts you find offensive, and we will review them accordingly.

I was on FCF from its early days, and this forum, in its present state, is not even a shadow of FCF.
Key tenets of Apostolic Doctrine are both disputed and denied here:
- 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.
This forum has a right to be whatever the owners and administrators choose for it to be, but it has very little reason to call itself "Apostolic."

Sure, but at least it would give us some new things to argue about! (err... discuss...)

Says you.
Let's talk about what "being Apostolic" is.

Some people emphasize Apostolic Friends Forum. Others emphasize Apostolic Friends Forum.

Re: This forum needs a name change...
Temper Tantrums when you try to take their single brand that makes them different from all the rest. A hijacked word that means much more, in some ways, much less, than the way they use it.
The Apostles never articulated a systematic formula of the godhead, for example. But we insert DKB's book and say "that's Apostolic." Riiiiight.
