The AMF does not have districts (Elder Epley said they did way back). My understanding is that the AMF is a fellowship of ministers. There are no presbyters or district supervisors. They have a general board that basically takes care of the business of the AMF, but has no authority over the local church.

It is really set up the Apostolic way.

I too believe that the Bride and the Church are the same, but a man made organization is NOT the Church or the Bride.

Bro Terry also implied that the AMF was born out of rebellion, and he also stated in his life story that the AMF had quite a few light doctrine teachers in it. Something I have yet to find substantiated.

Uhm, probably not. A good effort maybe, but not the real Apostolic way. I know of absolutely no group that is totally formed "the Apostolic way."

The AMF is small and has the LEAST amount of government of any org. and to me small government is a GOOD thing.

I have never heard anything like that either. Honestly Brother, the fellowship is really not something that gets a lot of play at the local level.
