The intention of this board is to become a means of contact and interaction for those who would like to connect to join or start an Apostolic house church. It is also for those who are interested in the New Testament model of house churches.

This is not your everyday Apostolic message board. You may find your views and beliefs challenged by others on this forum. Traditions you hold to or things you may have been taught may be brought to light as man-made or extra-biblical. These are not an attack on you, or the good-intentioned people that may have taught you these things. In this forum, the BIBLE is the ultimate authority.

This is a One God Apostolic Forum. By participating in this forum, you are affirming that you have agreeing views. We are not here to debate theology. If you are a sincere seeker, you are welcome. If you are here to stir the pot, please take your spoon elsewhere.

The intention of this forum is for like-minded believers to come together and find fellowship. To find or start a House Church, or learn more about them.

We believe that God is One.

"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up."
Deut. 6:4-7

Please understand that this is not a "trinitarian" board. Yes, we believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, but we do not believe that these are three separate and equal beings as taught by most of the orthodox and protestant religions.

We believe in biblical salvation.

"Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call." Acts 2:36-39

We believe in living a life that is Holy and Sanctified unto God, and a biblical family structure.

"Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." 1 Peter 1:13-16

"But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee." Titus 2

"I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works."1 Tim 2:8-10

"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God." Deut 22:5

"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. ... Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. " 1 Cor 11:3-6, 14-15

We believe in the biblical examples of what and where "church" is.

"And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." Acts 2:46-47

"As for Saul, he made havock of the congregation |1577| (ecclesia,) entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison."Acts 8:3

"Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ." Romans 16:5

"The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house." 1 Corinthians 16:19

"Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house." Colossians 4:15

"And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in thy house:" Philemon 1:2

"And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying" Acts 12:12

"And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight." Acts 20:7

"How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying." 1 Cor 14:26

"Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted" 1 Cor 14:29-31

"But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. " Matt 23:8-10


To sum it up, we believe in: *ONE GOD,
*Acts 2:38 Salvation (Repentance and Baptism in Jesus' Name, Infilling of the Holy Ghost - evidence of speaking in tongues)
*Holiness in behavior, thought and speech; and the
*New Testament example of the fellowship of believers, in private homes with biblical eldership.

If you too, believe these things, you have found a group of like-minded believers and you are most welcome here.
