What We Believe
About the Bible: The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. ( II Timothy 3:16)
About God: There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16)
About Sin and Salvation: Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Our basic and fundamental doctrine shall be the Bible standard of full salvation, which is the absolute essentiality of repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives the Utterance. (Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:3-5; Acts 2:38; I Peter 3:20,21; Mark 16:16; Titus 3:5)
We believe the Bibles teaches that the above statement to be essential and not subsequent to salvation.
About the Gospel: The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). ( I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4)
About Christian Living: As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10)
About the Future: Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death. (I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15.)
About Holiness: We believe that holiness and separation is necessary to salvation and is not an option according to the Bible.

take care to review our guidelines so as to not risk having oneself
removed from the site. ****Should Violations Occur**** and the chat
room not be used in a positive manner, we will remove it from the
site. It is not part of our plan to facilitate and monitor
conversations in the chat room.. Our effort is to facilitate
networking among the saints. Should the chat room begin to degrade
our efforts, we will remove as this is not part of our bigger
vision for the My Apostolic Network site. We added the chat room as
an additional benefit to the My Apostolic Network members. Why do
we specify limitations? The primary reason for limiting discussions
is to protect the culture of My Apostolic Network and the members

can degrade the network experience if let to be free and open to
