Who is allowed to be part of Apostolics Online, and What are the rules?

[Ren Rutledge]

Apostolics Online is provided for anybody that believes in One God (non trinity) and promotes the message of repentance and water baptism in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins. If you are not Apostolic having repented and having been baptized in the name of Jesus you are also welcome to join Apostolics Online so you can enjoy the video and audio as you learn about us. We welcome anybody anywhere to join our club. As you discover what we have learned about living in the Word of God and see how happy we are you may want to dig a little deeper and see what it is about these Apostolic people that makes you want to be here. All people everywhere are welcome, so come on in.

We are not here to debate our differences or our extreme beliefs about any subject such as end time prophecy, marriage and divorce, grape juice and wine, holiness standards, pre-trib mid-trib post-trib any kind of trib, but all are welcome to preach sing or testify about how you understand these subjects as long as you do not get into a mud slinging argument with other members here. Most of our members do not agree with the traditional teaching about the three person God, but we have many friends who do believe that there are three persons in the Godhead and we love them just as we love one another. I have learned that it is easier to help another person to understand by being kind and being a friend than it is to win them over into your way of thinking by having a bad attitude or being mean to them. Debates and disputes must be kept outside Apostolics Online.

The common ground that brings us all together so we can enjoy this site is our belief that Jesus is God and that Jesus wants to be and can be our Lord and Savior if we desire to serve him and be his children. The reason for this being an Apostolic Pentecostal Network is because it is owned by an Apostolic Pentecostal preacher that believes with all his heart that there is One God, and in order to be saved we must Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. We seek for opportunities to share this awesome truth as we remind others who may be searching for God that they can count on the promiise of the Holy Ghost to be there for all people in every nation regardless of your background, race creed religion or education.

The owner of this site serves only one master and will not bow down to any other god, religion or organization. We are very concerned for the lost souls out there walking in darkness having no knowledge of basic instructions in the Word of God, and we will not make any rule that totally excludes any individual from any of our outreach tools. Anything written, viewed or heard from Apostolics Online is open for all people everywhere regardless of background to come and enjoy our club as you consider what we do and as we pray for God to help you with wisdom and grace in our efforts to be a witness on behalf of the God of our salvation.

It is our hope that many non-Apostolics will join Apostolics Online and discover a deeper knowledge of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost and learn more about the what Jesus taught to his deciples as he opened their understanding about the mighty God in Christ and the wonderful baptism that is in that Name of the Father, Son, And Holy Ghost as instructed by Jesus in Matthew 28:19 and commanded by Peter in Acts 2:38. and also intstructed and obeyed by Paul and a dozen deciples of John the Baptist in Acts 19. Peter and Matthew understood that there is only one name given under Heaven whereby we must be saved, and on the day of Pentecost Matthew was standing in one accord and in singleness of mind with Peter as he spoke the instructions to the lost multitude of how to save themselves from this untoward generation. Luke recorded the events that we read about in Acts, and Matthew recorded his book that revealed his understanding of the NAME of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost in Matthew 28:19. That name is Jesus, and because of the same understanding that was revealed to Peter and Matthew and Luke as they recalled the events of the birth of the Church and wrote it down for us as the Holy Spirit moved on them to write, we are very happy as members of Apostolics Online to share this good news with anybody in the world regardless of religion nationality or creed. Please feel free to enjoy this site no matter where you are coming from, and when you have been blessed please share your testimony here so that we all can rejoice with you.

We will never all agree, and some will not agree that I should open this door, but I do not agree with all those who want to hide behind the wall of some set of rules in an organization and refuse to show love and kindness to others who do not measure up to their holier than thou attitudes.

There are some who once were very strong in some well known Apostolic-Pentecostal systems who left those systems and veered in some ways that may have disappointed some of us. Many of these people were a blessing in my life, and some are still alive today. Even though I may not agree with what they may be doing today, I will be posting some old tapes and videos of those who have been a blessing to me, because they have been part of my Pentecostal heritage. Those messages preached back in those days came from God, and I am not responsible for the fact that some may have veered, but I am very thankful for the fact that they were used of God to be a blessing in my life, and I still love them. All members are welcome to do the same. Upload pictures, video and audio with inspiration from your heroes of faith. Enjoy this site.

The rules for Apostolics Online can be found in the Holy Bible.

Anybody that can love others and be kind should be able to have a good time here.

Please do not cause problems and make it difficult for others. We will make up a rule for any unruly individual as needed.

God's blessing to you, your children and their children too as we all continue to share and learn more about this excellent Apostolic way.

very well said..

[OneGod1/Rev. Elder Marty Wright]

How great it is to gather and have fellowship with Brothers and Sisters without all the name-calling and throwing the names of well-known organizations around. Simply living, loving, believing the Word -- sharing it with other like-minded folks, and sharing it with folks that as of yet don't know it too well. That's where it's at. I thank the Lord for you, Brother!
