Mat 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Mat 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

That would be one of them.

Seems Paul had a good idea of what the rules where when he penned:

1Co 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
1Co 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
1Co 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
1Co 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
1Co 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
1Co 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
1Co 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
1Co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

What do you think went through Frank Ewart's mind, or A.D. Urshan's (and the others) when they first contemplated the implications of the OP message? I remember reading (but I forget which writer) someone saying that they were concerned about that very passage and didn't want to cause offense by the way in which they preached "the doctrine."

And that was in a context of fellowshipping with and sharing pulpits with Trinitarian "brothers."

Obviously being anti-television is one of the most important things in the Apostolic doctrine...

Rom 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Shunning might not be in order if you read the next verse.......
Are there any who consider them self "simple" of AFF?

What about these?

2Ti 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

If we'd follow these two beauts there probably wouldn't be much debate on AFF.............

I don't think that's what PP had in mind.................

I think it speaks more generally to the thread, the idea that the PAW is somehow apostate because they are once again fellowshipping (or at least considering to fellowship) Trinitarians.

The cry was made that "we" need to "wake up." Wake up to what? That the PAW appears to actually be going back to its roots and operating like "the greatest doctrinal preachers I've ever heard?"

I wasn't thinking of PP... I was thinking of all the wizened, esteemed men of God, who through their actions believe that being anti-television is more important than anything else in their identity... including oneness and speaking in tongues...

I don't recall any resolution about oneness or speaking in tongues... just the one about television... so if you read between the lines, it is more important to them than the things that they STILL have in common with the organization.
