I Think I Know The Answer But...

There is this guy who is a former Apostolic believer. He is still a Christian and holds no ill-will towards Apostolics, but this guy is STRONGLY OPPOSED to key Apostolic doctrines. Really, there is absolutely no convincing this guy back to "the way".

However, say this same guy has found an Apostolic woman who has caught his attention romantically...

Guy seems cautiously optimistic, gal seems happy.

Should this guy really pursue this situation? I think it will lead to mess and hurt feelings, but what does AFF think?

So, Jermyn, you've become fond of an Apostolic woman?

Careful, she'll pray you through!

A real apostolic woman would not give him the time of say. Missionary dating does not work. Someone is going to influence the other.

This thread is about a man who wishes to remain anonymous... In fact just talking about this online is something that could be against his better judgment...

But this is about a guy who wants to remain anonymous...

I told him it would be messy and someone could possibly be hurt unnecessarily...

He's hard-headed...

I know. LOL! That is why, out of respect for the two individuals who are the subject of this thread, they shall remain anonymous.

It's a direct violation of God's Word to be unequally yoked with an unbeliever. If she is a lover of truth she will pray for her "pursuers" conversion but will not consent to a romantic relationship.
