message: I am Apostolic. We are not required to have head coverings. I don’t know of any apostolic church that requires head coverings.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.252.201.189 (talk) 01:52, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

message: -I don't know who is in here reverting every edit back so this page is merely propaganda for the church rather than an honest reflection.  Its not surprising but still sickening.  Please at least state your case before you just revert .... Maybe some stuff is too ACCA specific and should be ported to their page?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haxsaw (talk • contribs) 13:51, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

message: -When a member gets punished for sitting on the wrong side of the aisle, that is an elevation from tradition to commandment.
-And, this denomination elevates its narrow interpretation of Biblical texts to be the only Godly interpretation. Therefore, its interpretation of the Bible is in itself a tradition, because it deviates so drastically from usual interpretations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.210.212.220 (talk) 01:58, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Traditions 

message: Couple questions and a comment here. 
First a comment, looking at this page, I think you are right, it might be too ACCA specific. Within the church ACC and ACCA are used a lot interchangeably. My guess is that someone is thinking this way. Maybe we need to try to use this page for just the "big picture" of all the branches. Second item is a question, what is this person talking about here "When a member gets punished for sitting on the wrong side of the aisle, that is an elevation from tradition to commandment." Please explain. Third, for "Elders Among Us," I am not seeing any cover up here ("not sure why it is an elder or an apologist of elders"). With the link provided, it makes no note that Mark Souder was a ACCA member. He just grew up in the church according to the link. If this is the case (he was not a member), this would not be abnormal. Example being Aaron Schock who is a congressman who grew up ACCA but is not a member. Please correct me if I am wrong.

thread_title:  Questions 

message: I read with interest the comments regarding the upbringing of the two congressmen.  I was raised in the Apostolic Christian Church although I have not attended a regular service in at least a decade.  My parents and one sister are still members of the ACCA.  When I was a regular attendee of the ACCA I decided to run for the office of state representative in Missouri.  I was successful in my election and was subsequently told by the elder of the church I attended I could never become a member if I chose to remain an elected official.  This was the beginning of my leaving the church.  While I still have great respect for some of the members of the ACCA, I now see it is a demonination rooted in the teachings of man rather than the teachings of our Lord and Saviour.  It is a congregation which depends on total control of its members.  When I was a teenager I was told it would be better for me to attend no church than to attend one other than the ACCA.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.169.109.32 (talk) 03:43, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poitics within the Apostolic Christian Church 

message: Do Nazarenes in Serbia and former Yugoslavia have connections with the Apostolic Christian Church? I try to locate a Church most close to Nazarenes of Serbia. It looks like that The Nazarene Christian Congregation is perhaps the Church most close to Nazarnes. Are they also located in other parts of Europe, as in Scandinavia? If not, which Church is most close to the Apostolic Christian Church in Scandinavia? Sorry for using Wikipedia for this kind of enquiry. Theophilius (talk) 23:18, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Nazarenes in Serbia or former Yugslavia?

message: Added this line to clarify the description of Elder:
The office of elder is seen as equivalent to that of a bishop as described in the epistles of 1 Timothy and Titus. Barjeconiah (talk) 02:34, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: It could use more citations like most articles. However I think the excessive use of bullet points should be fixed first. I removed a bullet point form an introduction paragraph. Paragraphs don't need bullets, lists do. -- JTsams  (talk) 15:07, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
