Sorry Steve,


   I missed your positon completely.  What threw me off was you had no
trouble discussing diversity with in movement when responding to a comment
about Gays, and you seemed (to my perception) to be dismissing a serious
question of Bills with the comment about diversity.



So please clearify for my slow mind, who is worthy to Enter the Kingdom,
and in what catagory would you suggest a person understands the answer to
question well enough so they could be considered adherent to Apostolic
Christianity aside from belife in Acts 2:38 as the start of salvation. 

Must they confess an understanding of standards?

Do you require certain standards?

Should lifestlyles such as iodolitry (Wiccaism for example)?
homosexuality?or adultery? be considered extreme
 examples of unholiness by Apostolics
(Nearly all Apostolics would agree with me about this.)

Must they be in General terms conservative Christians (as I imagine we all
are)?

Must they believe in the Incarnation? the Ressurection? and the Rapture?
(note all these belifes are linked to salvation in Scripture somewhere,
and every Apostolic I have ever met believes they are litteral.) 

Must they believe in the Onenness of God? (Deut 6:4- 6:8)


If this sounds like an awkward question remeber we don't know who is
saved; we only know what they confess, and when telling the world we are
Apostolic we need to know how we classify Apostolics.
