Any Apostolics out there?

[Spirit of Pentecost]

I'm unsure where I should post this question because every time I post somewhere it's reported or attacked. This isn't intentional, but I'm just wanting to ask a question.

Are there any other Apostolics out there? By Apostolic, I mean Acts 2:38 salvation believers, Spirit-filled churchgoers, and who see the Oneness of our God.

If there are any other Apostolics out there then isn't there anywhere we could possibly post our beliefs without being attacked or singled for being unorthodox, non-Christian, or getting our hands slapped for typing the "wrong" words with our keyboards? Is there any possible way we could petition our own Apsotlic forum? Should we advocate for the acceptance of Apostolics as orthodox Christians, despite the personal beliefs of CF moderators. Should we start our own website such as this?

I'm not aiming any offense or bitterness here, but I am quite frankly a little annoyed that my views are almost consistently attacked, or that I'm always quoted and questioned of whether I'm Oneness or not.

You would first have to untangle it from Universalism.

Hi Dalton.

This is a problem because CF defines Christianity as adherence to the Nicene Creed, which is Trinitarian.

I would suggest you ask in this forum: Suggest New Forums

I can't say what the site would do. Perhaps it's possible to add a subforum for you under this area, though it might not be very visible in that case. But that would be the place to ask.

In my experience, those who call themselves "Apostolic" are quite often the opposite of Universalists. Are we thinking of the same thing?

I agree but that seems to be the accusation. Often it's just the term 'persons' of the Nicene code that is objected to but like any clash of denominations when pressed for details they agree. It surprises me that 'pure' Pentecostals object to the spirit of Christ being called the almighty also because the area of Canada I'm from the Oneness Pentecostals pioneered the first churches. I was baptized in the oldest church in New Westminster and they were the most bounce-off-the-wall Pentecost I had ever seen.

Can somebody point me to a web page defining Apostolics? I am not familiar with this denomination.

Opposite in one sense. In that Unitarianism teaches that the Father alone is God; whereas Oneness theology asserts that the Father alone is God, and that Jesus is the Father. So opposite in their Christology perhaps.

Though both could be argued to be forms of Monarchianism; with the teaching that God is of a single Hypostasis.
