Re: New To This-can You Define Please?
I have always considered myself under the "Evangelical" umberella.
If I recall I think Bro J L Hall wrote a booklet on this topic.

Re: New To This-can You Define Please?
What about a Oneness Church that doesn't have all the standards of the UPC? But believes stanchly in Acts 2:38. Would they be considered Apostolic?

BTW- Praxeas---though much appreciated and very informing, I am NOT a biblical scholar, and sometimes need things explained in laymans terms! Hence- all my methodical questions. Please again, bear with me!

Re: New To This-can You Define Please?
They would consider themselves to be Apostolic. Trinitarians would probably consider them Apostolic.
Groups of Pentecostals that are more conservative in key doctrines might argue that they are not, indeed, authentic Apostolics.

It would depend on what district they were in as to whether the UPC would consider them worthy of membership or a group whose very existence would scarcely be mentioned.
The UPC is a structure of governance, not necessarily a homogenized group of believers.

Well, I'm not UPCI but I'm still considered Apostolic. As far as standards go that varys church by church even in the UPCI.

Wish I would have saw this one before I answered your last one, could have combined answers. Most UPCI folks I've met consider me their brother. I've preached in a UPCI church, made friends in the UPCI, I just don't have the membership card to the org, but we have the same membership card to the kingdom and that's what counts.
