Nope...not always the case. There is a LARGE group of "Apostolics" where
my parents (and Pastor Joe) live that call themselves Apostolic, but DO NOT
believe in the Oneness of God. From what I understand, they are definite
trinitarians. They look and dress like UPC people, but their doctrine is far
from it!

True, but no matter how you slice it, if you accept the Pentecostal
experience,
then you are, by definition, Pentecostal. WILL THE REAL PENTECOSTALS
PLEASE STAND UP!!
