Doctrinal Purity - Is it THAT Important? - Page 5

Is this an Apostolic Forum? Sometimes I have a hard time telling.

If it weren't for Coonskinner and Elder Epley, I would think that I was on some kind of Doctrine Anonymous forum.

"Hi my name is Pianoman"

group responds "Hi Pianoman"

"I claim to be Apostolic, but I dont believe jack squat"

There are certain truths in the bible that are not generally disputed such as...

1. One must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
2. One must repent
3. Believers should be baptised
4. One must live a life pleasing to the Lord.
5. There is a heaven for the righteous
6. There is a hell for sinners and unbelievers.

There are other truths besides these that anyone can read the bible and plainly see.

All christian religions have SOME truth!

Deadeye then define your beliefs, stances? What do we have to believe in to be considered Apostolic?

I know what I believe.

I have read on this forum since it started. I like the tolerance here. I dare say Piano Man has experienced the New Birth the same way you have - with the tee crossed and the i dotted.

I am enjoying this place myself - grab some coffee and welcome aboard.

Hi Deadeye!

I suppose you're claiming doctrinal purity!

Actually, I do believe the Apostolic doctrine. I just don't put others that don't see eye to eye with me in HELL!

Maybe he is related to Jack Sprat!

I can agree with that. I guess I'm looking at truth like a recipe. One can use part of the same ingredients, but come up with a nasty tasting recipe!

Some may put a bigger portion of some of the same ingredients, using the same recipe, and it comes out tasting totally different.

For instance, flour in a biscuit recipe is needed, but if you put too much flour in your biscuits without the other needed ingredients, they taste nasty!
