Apostolic Pentecostals are a distinct group within the Pentecostal movement, known for their unique beliefs and practices. Here’s a summary of their core tenets:


1. Oneness Theology:
* One God: They believe in one God who manifests Himself in three distinct ways: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is in contrast to the traditional Trinitarian view of three distinct persons in one Godhead.
* Jesus as the Fullness of God: They believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only God, and that the fullness of God dwells in Him.


2. Salvation:
* Repentance, Baptism, and Holy Spirit Baptism: They believe that salvation is received through repentance of sins, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.


3. Holiness:
* Separation from the World: They emphasize a life of holiness and separation from worldly influences, including abstaining from certain behaviors and practices deemed sinful.


4. Spiritual Gifts:
* Active Gifts: They believe that the spiritual gifts, such as prophecy, healing, and speaking in tongues, are still active and operational in the church today.
5. Second Coming of Christ:


* Imminent Return: They believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of His kingdom on earth.
Additional Distinctive Practices:


* Modest Dress: Women often wear long skirts or dresses and avoid makeup and jewelry.


* Stricter Lifestyle: They may abstain from alcohol, tobacco, and other substances.


* Emphasis on Worship: Their worship services are often lively and expressive, characterized by singing, clapping, and raising hands.
