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

Thanks, friend!

What is Apostolic Doctrinal Acknowlegement?

I Nathan Eckstadt am a One God, Tounge talking, Holy Roller, Born again, Heaven bound believer in the Liberated power of Jesus Name.

I say young and old repent of all your sin's and the Holy Ghost will enter in...

He is the light today, so get Baptized..... in Jesus Name....

In Jesus dwells the fullness of the God-Head don't you see, that Jesus is the Great I am the Lord of all is He.

He is the one who stood before Moses at the Burning bush of Fire.

Apostolic enough for you!

Works for me!

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!

Right Mr. Pianoman!

I'm just so thankful for the part of the body that I'm in. I wouldn't trade it for any other!

In just the past couple days I've come to see a couple aspects of doctrine a little differently. In regard to one aspect it was like ... WOAH!! ... like a light had come on! Amazing really!

So don't tell me that none of us are able to still learn and absorb and obtain greater understanding of "truth". And for this thanks to some of the pastors as they share their own understanding and knowledge of Scripture with us.

It makes me even stronger in my beliefs re the total absolute necessity of repentance, baptism, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost...... certainly not less so.

Would you care to share what aspects of doctrine that you're referring to, for the curious among us? You've already told us which points they're NOT

You might be surprised Seg ... and I really don't feel like I can or should open up about it right now. May I will later.

NO ONE is in the Body of Christ who has NOT obeyed Acts 2:38!!!!!!!!!!
EVERYONE without exception who does not preach and practice this is lost.
There is NO such thing as a Christian outside the Apostolic Church.

[Scott Hutchinson]

One who aspires to Christian Ministry must know what they believe and why they believe it , and one must be able to defend their doctrinal stand with scripture if one can't their defend their doctrinal stand with the word they don't need to teach it.

It is programed in the computer called my brain and everytime I see the absurd being advocated that folks are saved without Acts 2:38 it kicks in instantly. NO Christians outside the saving message of Acts 2:38.
