The Split

During the 7th Conference ofthe Apostolic Faith Churchthat was held in Bournemouth

tension started to mound overthe administration of thechurch.

A huge offering wascollected after a propheticword was delivered stating

bring your treasure to theApostles feet. DPWilliams felt that acommittee of seven menshould decide on how tohandle to money wisely.William Oliver Hutchinsonbelieved that it was hismoney and he would dowith it as he pleased.


10/29

As a result, DP Williams and a number of other Welsh

assemblies broke away from the AFC to form the ApostolicChurch in Wales (ACW).

From 1916-1922, the ACW grew with more and moreindependent Pentecostal congregations becoming affiliatedwith them. These congregations included the Burning BushPentecostal congregation in Glasgow, the Apostolic Church inHereford and the Apostolic Church of God in Bradford.

During an Easter meeting in 1922, a prophetic word directedthese four main groups to form an administrative union; wherePen-y-groes would be the government center, Glasgow thefinancial center and Bradford the missionary center.

The Birth of the Apostolic Church


11/29

Teachings that were given to the Apostles by Jesus.

The bible reference is Acts 2:42.

The whole New Testament is the Apostles Doctrine since itwas written by Apostles as they were inspired by the HolyGhost.

Using John 8:31, they believe that the church, which is the body

of Christ, is commanded to continue in the teachings.

Apostles Doctrine


12/29

The Bible is the inspired Word of God and it showsthat there is no salvation outside of following the

teachings found in it.

There is only one God (Deut 6:4) and he createdheaven and earth and all living things.

God is seen within humanity as the Father (Creator,John 4:24); the Son (Jesus Christ, Savior, Romans 1:3);and the Holy Ghost (indwelling Spirit, John 14:16-26,Romans 8:9-11).

The Apostles Doctrine and the Bible,God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost


13/29

Moving away from the law or commandments of Godis sin (1 John 3:4).

Salvation is the act of turning away from sin, beingwater baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christfor the remission of sins, being baptized in the Holy

Ghost and then living a godly life (Acts 2:36-41).If a person doesnt accept salvation, the wages of sin is

death (Romans 6:23, Revelation 20:14)

The Apostles Doctrine and Sin andSalvation


14/29

Water baptism is an essential part of New Testament

salvation because it symbolizes Jesus death, burial

and resurrection, and is to be administered only byimmersion.

Holy Ghost baptism is the birth of the Spirit (John 3:5),is necessary for somebody to enter the kingdom ofGod and is evidenced by speaking in tongues.

The Apostles Doctrine andSpeaking in Tongues

A miraculous sign of speaking anotherlanguage that is unknown to the speaker.

This can be classified in two different ways

Initial evidence of being baptized in the Holy

Ghost (Acts 2:4; 10:46; 19:6).The gift of tongues as described in I

Corinthians 12:1-12 and 14:1-40


16/29

Once saved from sin, one must live a

holy, righteous, and sober life.Also, they must separate themselves from

the all worldliness.

They can heal the sick by laying

hands on them and anointing themon the forehead with oil.

The oil would be Extra Virgin OliveOil (EVOO).

The Apostles Doctrine and

Divine Healing


18/29

Jesus is coming back to Earth in a bodily form to take to heaven

those that have accepted redemption through His blood, by

birth of water and of the Spirit, and who are found faithfulwhen He comes.

This is happening soon due to everything that is going on inthe world (earthquakes, storms, society and politics corruption,

people filled with pride). II Timothy 3:1-13, Daniel 12:4, Luke 21:24-28, Matthew 24:6

19/29

The dead will rise again regardless if they died just or unjustly.

John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:12-13

After the Rapture, everybody will go before Gods seat ofjudgment.

The just will inherit the kingdom and the unjust will be castinto everlasting fire.

II Corinthians 5:10, Matthew 25:32-34, 41, 46

The Apostles Doctrine and The

Rapture and Judgment


20/29

If you take a look closer, one will notice that

different churches have separate set of rulescalled tenets.

These are locals rules established by the local

clergy (i.e. senior Bishops).

Tenets


21/29

Some churches believe that it is okay forwomen to have authority over the church whileothers dont.

1 Timothy 2:11-14 is used to disprove womenpreachers.

John 4:7-42 is used to prove that women can bepreachers (the Samaritan woman).

Women Preachers

Women should wear clothing that doesnt

cause a man to lust after her, causing him tohave committed adultery.

I Peter 3:1-5Women should also not wear clothes that we

created for a man

It is good to know what the Apostolic Church congregationsknow so that you can defend the Church of Christ

Why is it important in knowing

about the Apostolic Church


25/29

Based on the Apostolic Church's history one can see that thechurch was founded by man in the early 20th century while

Christ's Church was founded in 33 A.D. by Jesus Christ.

Church History


26/29

I Corinthians 14 discusses speaking in tongues. Speaking intongues was a miraculous gift given to the Apostles to edify

and grow the Church but for somebody to speak in tongues,there has to be a couple of people there to interpret what isbeing said. Nothing good can come out of somebody speakingin tongues if there is nobody there to interpret what the personis saying to others. God is not going to allow there to beconfusion within His church.

Speaking in Tongues


27/29

The Apostolic Church upholds old traditions of the Law liketithing and putting oil on people's foreheads. Romans 10:4 tells

us that Jesus is the end of the Law and Romans 15:4 tells us thatwhat was written before hand, the Law, is for our learning. 1Corinthians 15:3 states that the law doesn't bind us anymore sothere is no reason biblical reasoning to continue in thetraditions of the Law. Acts 15:10 states that those living beforeChrist could not bear the Law just like those living after Christwouldn't be able to.

Old Traditions


28/29

As started in Bro. Leslie James's sermon from December 2,2012, there are no more apostles living today because you had

to meet specific requirements to be an Apostle. First, you haveto be a male. Second, you have to have seen the risen Christ.Lastly, you have to be able to work miraculous gifts (i.e.bringing people back from the dead).
