Doctrine and Theology
Apostolic Messianics believe in Oneness theology - that is, they reject the mainstream Christian Trinitarian view of God and assert that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all the same person and simply different modes of operation of God. They follow Acts 2:38 as the plan of faith and grace salvation. They believe in holiness and separation from all things evil and sinful. They observe the Lord's Communion only on Passover according to the Jewish calendar - on the same night Jesus and the Apostles celebrated his memorial. They believe in the currency of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Church and in miracles. They also believe in the ministry of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers.

Famous quotes containing the words doctrine and/or theology:
“Among the best traitors Ireland has ever had, Mother Church ranks at the very top, a massive obstacle in the path to equality and freedom. She has been a force for conservatism, not on the basis of preserving Catholic doctrine or preventing the corruption of her children, but simply to ward off threats to her own security and influence.”
—Bernadette Devlin (b. 1947)
“... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)
