This was a thought on the Tulsa group at one point I believe. If they decided to go with a loose fellowship, they could still hold their license with the UPC without going against the bylaws.

I do not think that is correct. Someone who knows help us.

I think there was something different about their belief about communion but I'm not sure now.

DO you know Deon Turner? He is such a kind man. He is in Ireland for a few more weeks. He pastors in Manville, VA now.

I don't remember ever hearing about them before.
It is listed as an Apostolic organization at
http://www.apostolic-churches.com/organizations.html
but if I try to go to the IAF site, the link doesn't work.

The IAF website is in the stage of being rebuilt....when it is up and running I will post a link on here if ya'll want.

I never met Deon Turner.
He was no longer going to the Carthage Apostolic Church when I started there in the early nineteen sixties.
