Voices we trust

"The worst thing can happen is for you and I to live not knowing God not seeking to please God not satisfied serving God."

Bishop Clifton Jones

"Nobody is Pentecostal who rejects the water baptism in Jesus name."

Dr. Johnny James

"He should so thoroughly know what he believes that he believes his beliefs and doubts his doubts. He does not doubt his beliefs and believe his doubts."

Bishop Morris E. Golder

"We are not Pentecostal because we shout. We are Apostolic because we believe and teach what the apostles taught. Doctrine is not a footnote. It is the headline."

Pastor Jack Cunningham

"The Word of God is not to be lightly handled or casually quoted. It is the sword of the Spirit, and it must be studied, rightly divided, and reverently obeyed."

Superintendent David K. Bernard
Acts 2:37-41

37Now 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?

38Then 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.

39For 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.

40And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Apostolic Commentary

The gospel cuts to the heart. Peter's message of Jesus crucified brings conviction that demands a response. The people cry out, "What shall we do?"--the same question every honest heart must ask when confronted with truth.

Verse 38 gives God's answer. Repentance turns us from sin, baptism in Jesus' name washes those sins away, and the gift of the Holy Ghost fills us with God's Spirit. This is not optional or symbolic--it is the pattern of salvation given by the apostles themselves.

The promise is generational. Peter declares it is for "you, your children, and all that are afar off." That means this new birth experience stretches across time and culture. What was poured out on Pentecost is still available today.

The result is transformation. Three thousand souls were added in one day because they obeyed the Word. The same obedience brings the same results now--repentance, baptism in Jesus' name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost remain the foundation of the Apostolic church.

Apostolic Truth Timeline

From Pentecost to the present, one message continues unchanged.

  1. AD 33 — The Day of Pentecost

    The Church is born in Jerusalem as the Spirit is poured out and three thousand are baptized in Jesus’ name.

  2. 1st Century — The Apostles’ Doctrine

    The gospel spreads through preaching, signs, and letters that become our New Testament.

  3. 4th Century — The Rise of Creeds

    Human tradition begins to overshadow the simplicity of One God and baptism in Jesus’ name.

  4. Early 1900s — Apostolic Restoration

    The Holy Ghost is poured out worldwide, confirming the same Acts 2 message with tongues and Jesus-name baptism.

  5. Today — The Same Truth

    Repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost continue to transform lives across the world.

Compare the lenses

Many classic commentaries read key texts through a Trinitarian lens. ApostolicStudy puts context before commentary and Scripture interpreting Scripture, confessing that God is one and fully revealed in Jesus.

Popular Commentary (Trinitarian)

"The Word" is the eternal second Person, personally distinct from the Father yet fully divine. Creation is through the Son as a co-eternal person.

ApostolicStudy Exegesis

"Word" (Logos) is God's own self-expression—God Himself in revelation. The one God later became flesh as Jesus Christ. Distinction is functional, not a second divine person.

Matthew 28:19

Open in reader →
Popular Commentary (Trinitarian)

Baptism "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" affirms three co-equal, co-eternal persons. Acts baptisms in Jesus' name are treated as shorthand.

ApostolicStudy Exegesis

"Name" is singular and fulfilled in Jesus. The apostles consistently baptize in the name of Jesus (Acts 2:38; 8:16; 10:48; 19:5) as the faithful application of Christ's words.

Popular Commentary (Trinitarian)

The Son, as a distinct person, shared personal pre-existence and glory alongside the Father before creation.

ApostolicStudy Exegesis

The glory belongs to God alone and was purposed "with" God. Jesus prays from the incarnational role about the glory that existed in God and is now revealed in the man Christ Jesus.

Colossians 2:9

Open in reader →
Popular Commentary (Trinitarian)

The fullness of deity dwells bodily in Christ, the second person incarnate, while the Father remains a distinct person.

ApostolicStudy Exegesis

All the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Jesus bodily. God is fully and uniquely revealed in Christ, not divided among multiple divine persons.

Deuteronomy 6:4 / Mark 12:29

Popular Commentary (Trinitarian)

"One" means unity of essence shared by three persons.

ApostolicStudy Exegesis

"One" is numerically one—a single, indivisible God who has now made Himself known in the man Christ Jesus and by His Spirit.

Notes: "Popular Commentary (Trinitarian)" summaries are paraphrased general viewpoints, not quotations.

Minister insight

"To study Scripture rightly, you must let the Bible interpret itself, comparing line upon line, precept upon precept, and always keeping the context before the commentary."
