Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
Those that believe that 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 think we all believe in the two commands and the one promise found in
Acts 2:38. As Apostolics we have different ideas as to when a person is justified/saved/regenerated. Some of us believe a person is saved prior to water and Spirit baptism while others do not believe a person is saved until after water and Spirit baptism. Some of us believe Jesus comes into our hearts to dwell as the Holy Spirit at faith/repentance and then we may subsequently be baptized/immersed in the Holy Spirit. Some believe a person is not really saved and rapture ready until he/she speaks with tongues. These are just differences among Apostolic people. The main thing is that we agree to disagree without being disagreeable.
