As
it is quite obvious, the Apostolic Faith and church according to the
Holy Bible, is really the Pentecostal church’s counterpart in its
government and doctrines, although, as used in various denominations
Apostolic Pentecostals or Pentecostal Apostolics are united to the first
century church in its original doctrines, actions and events; such as
Acts the 2nd chapter which is the account of the Baptism or infilling of
the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, and the
9 gifts of the Holy Spirit given in (1st Cor. 12th chpt). However, on
the contrary many who are considered to be dispensationalists believes
that these divine demenstrations and gifts in the book of Acts were only
the contemporaries of the first century church in its infancy and is
not relevant to these times.
Although, others believe these 9 gifts (The word of knowledge, The word of wisdom, The gift of prophecy, The gift of faith, The gifts of healings, The working of miracles, The discerning of spirits, Different kinds of tongues, The interpretations of tongues) along with the Baptism or infilling of the Holy Spirit has ceased since the completion of the Canon of scriptures, or were only for the Apostles, nevertheless, many who believe are experiencing the same events in their lives as did the first century church. Finally, as we draw to a close, at the heart of the true Apostolic Faith and Church, is The Message of The Cross of Christ; if there's a desire to grow in grace and the knowledge of Christ's Cross, God will take any confessing Christian as far as they are willing to believe in His timeless Truths. Pual says, as he lays down the mandate and message of the New Testemant Church in 1Corinthians 1:17; For Christ sent me not to Baptize, but to Preach the Gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made of none effect. The Apostle sums it up in verse 23. by saying, but we Preach Christ cruxify, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks/Gentiles foolishness. So in short, Pual is saying every thing we need, is in the Cross, not only our Salvation but also our Sanctification, Justification and Redemption.
