Hello, im not sure about rules on names used but im Apostolic_Dude, obviously by my name you can assume im a dude who is Apostolic :P. i believe in the Oneness of Jesus Christ and i was baptized in Jesus name and recieved the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Just to be blunt, even prior to my church life and finding God, I have never had a girlfriend. I'm here to meet new people definitly, but i truly wish to find a good Christian girl with similar beliefs.
hope it was ok to say that here? does it still count as an introduction? lol
In the name of Jesus Christ, may you all be blessed.

very interesting article
what do u 2 think of John 3:16,Acts 16:30-31,eph 2:8-9, Romans 10:-10, 1peter 1:5, read Galations 1:6-9, Gal 3:1-5. ALso read the book of romans
its by the justification by Faith we are saved.
do u apostolic pentecostals truely believe your denomination is the only church that is the body of christ.
God doesn't Care about your denomination
he cares about your Heart.
You need to stand on 2tim 2:15 i've studied this matter waterbaptism in Jesus Name and Speaking in toungues does not line up for the scripture for salvation
its faith alone the cross alone
Galations 6:14 Paul says God forbid shall i boast in anything except the Cross of Christ he didn't say baptism and tounge talkin.
If you believe in anything contrary to True repentence and Jesus Christ and Him Crucified is another Gospel. I encourage you to study your eternal destination depends on it do a study in your bible on every word with the word saved
In the name of Jesus Christ, may you all be blessed.

my friend i respect your views, and it all boils down to you believe your following the correct doctrine, and i believe that i am also following the correct doctrine. But i Truly hope and believe that in the end, God fully accepts everyone who just simply repents and Believes on Jesus, for thats what I am doing, i just happen to be doing more things thats in the Word. i wish to ask you, if i am repented and Believe on Jesus, why should i Not do what other scriptures say as well?
As for everyone else, please don't try to put down my faith? sure disagree with me, think im doomed to hell, but guess what,
in MY heart I KNOW im right with God.
Just like in your heart you know your right with God.
In the name of Jesus Christ, may you all be blessed.

It is true that we are justified by faith and yet faith without works is dead. Faith has to produce fruits of obedience. When the disciples believed, they were baptized (they understood and obeyed). We do not claim to be the ONLY Body of Christ neither do we condemned any denomination or belief different from ours. But we boldly proclaim what we believe on just as it is being revealed to us as we walk in faith and obey with our hearts.
In the name of Jesus Christ, may you all be blessed.

I know for a Fact that at least the United Pentecostal Church believes that the only way to Heaven is Repent,Be Water Baptized in Jesus Name not father,son,and holy spirit and speak in tongues is their view of the plan of salvation. SO let me ask you this Is that Plan of Salvation and the one in Mark 1:15 Repent and Believe the Gospel two different Gospel's.
Galations 1:6-9 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called in the Grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Gospel of Christ. But even if we , or an angel from, heaven preach any other gospel to you then what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before , so now I say again, if anyone preaches anyother Gospel to you then what you have recevied, let him be accursed. To you both what do u think that means? I also know Untited Pentecostal Church doesn't believe in the Trinity they confess Jesus is Father,SOn,and Holy SPirit. Now if you too confess that can you back it up with more then a few verses. Did Jesus ever Claim to Be God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Doctrine is Teaching of God's word. Galations 2:16-21 says Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus CHrist, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. But if while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of Sin? Certainly not!
For if I build again those things which i destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
For I through the law died to the law that i might live to God.
I have been crucifed with Christ it is no longer I who live, but CHrist lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by Faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself of me. I do not set aside the Grace of God; for if righteousness comes thru the Law then Christ Died in Vain.
I can go on and on But its Clear that Salvation is thru Jusitfication by Faith Only. I didn't say i have a problem with you getting baptized but when you say someone has to be baptized to be saved and speak with the evidence of tongues to be saved I have to rebuke you on it cause that is adding to the Cross of Christ for salvation. After we Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ we are to walk in Good works and stuff. I want you both to be plainly can both be right or is their only one Gospel.
The only THing that can wash your sins away is the Blood of Jesus CHrist no works just his blood.
It just sounds to me that you are preaching a faith plus works based Gospel.
Its by True Repentence and Faith in CHrist alone. We are baptized because our sins have been forgiven not for the forgivness of sins. also 1Peter 1:5 clearly says Salvation is thru Faith.
I'm just gonna be clear I don't Believe your walking in the Truth. I just want to encourage you to really open up your bibles and just don't go off what your preacher tells you really study what he says compared to what the Bible says.
In the name of Jesus Christ, may you all be blessed.

i thought i asked for no one to post more "your wrong, im right" philosophies? my friend one thing i can tell you about TRUE Christians, they express their love of Jesus, and how much he has done for them. they let people know what the plan of salvation is. but a TRUE Christian doesn't try to force someone to be a Christian, and surely doesn't CONSTANTLY tell someone exactly what they need in Christ.
Thinking your helping someone by Yelling them the Gospel or telling them their ways or wrong, WILL not EVER get them to change.
NOW PLEASE STOP PROSELYTIZING, I RESPECT YOUR VIEWS, BUT I DONT WANT TO HEAR THEM ANYMORE. youve told me in chats, and on here, this is for people to say hi. so if you try and tell me your way is right one more time i'll report you for it.
Ofcourse I do truly thank you for being interested in the salvation of my soul, because I know you believe your way is the only correct way to salvation, just like all other denominations have their own ways. But i already believe my way is correct, but like i've said. in the end, i hope were all correct.
In the name of Jesus Christ, may you all be blessed.

Welcome Apostolic_Guy!
I also have not had a Girlfriend before.. but I have been waiting for God to find me the right one..Sure i've strayed off the beaten path but hopefully I can also find my One that God has destined me to be with since Birth.
@Everyone
Guys, don't put him down... All Religion's/Denominations have faults.. True we can find the Answer's in the Bible and True words from the Bible to the Preachers Mouth get corrupted.. but the Followers as long as they Believe in Jesus and Love him with a Sincere heart does it really matter? God will lead them in the way he wants them when he wants them... whether it be bringing people to talk to them or him/herself finding it out on there own. We can hold our Brothers & Sisters accountable but don't judge before you look at your own Denomination/Religion.
Personally I'm called a Christian but I don't belong to the Denomination.. I believe in Jesus Christ and have a Personal Relationship with him.
In the name of Jesus Christ, may you all be blessed.

interesting responses. I tell the Truth very boldy some may get mad,sad,or glad but I love Truth and hate heresy I hate what the Oneness Pentecostalism did to me its pharisiam to me and if ppl will report me cause of it on here go ahead i don't care. I know the Truth and when the Holy Spirit converts you no man or force can decieve you again. The only battle i'm fighting for my salvation is the battle against the lust of my eyes and flesh. I crave companionship so much its so easy to fall in lust. Sexual Immorality won't enter God's Kingdom the only way to heaven is thru the Blood of Jesus and a Relationship with God. But as Jesus says you have to endure to the end. I truely believe religious ppl and worldly ppl are just as dead.
Its the condition of the heart.
but there can't be more than on Truth on Salvation can there???
In the name of Jesus Christ, may you all be blessed.

True but their is Only One Gospel Read Galations 1:8-9
The Truth is for salvation is either Repent and Believe the Gospel or repent,be water baptized in Jesus Name for remission of sins, and speak in tongues for salvation.
its only one not 2 both contradict each other.
The few main heresies of the UPC CHurch is they say you have to be water baptized in Jesus Name for the remission of Sins to be saved, the other is you have to speak in tongues as the only evidence of being born of the Spirit, the last one is most of them not all are very legalistic.
The evidence of being born of the Spirit is you have a new nature a new heart, Remission of Sins is applied in Repentence thru accepting Jesus in Your Heart. True circumsicion is of the HEart read romans 1:28-29.
Abraham is the Father of our Faith he entered the promise thru faith but the evidence of his faith was he offered his son for sacrafice to God over the alter, Its all about a Relationship with God our Father we enter that Relationship thru Jesus's Blood alone.
The only thing that offers remission of sins is The Blood Shed of Christ
Without the Shedding of BLood there is no forgiveness of sins period.
