>It has been stated that I (personally) and Apostolics (generally) claim

>God. My beliefs may not be all the truths, but the ones I have are
bible

>Another item that has been asserted is that I am Apostolic because I
was

an
>Apostolic not because of my experience, but because I follow the
>Apostles doctrine. I know many that have the same experience as I that

>these people are no longer Apostolic by my definition or theirs. They

left
