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.

“It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it.... There are some things in every country that you must be born to endure; and another hundred years of general satisfaction with Americans and America could not reconcile this expatriate to cranberry sauce, peanut butter, and drum majorettes.”
—Alistair Cooke (b. 1908)
“... 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)
