Beside, the Apostle Church

are today, we also believe that the books of Acts are for today too.
Today's book of Acts will not be called the Acts of the Apostles,
instead the Acts of Saints in the Holy Spirit.
Furthermore,
the body of Christ will become the Apostolic Church. The Apostolic
Church will reform all things in the church to the image of Christ.
After the Apostolic Church has fulfilled it's purpose, the unity of the
faith will come and increase and grow to the point that the Apostolic
church births and gives way to the Kingdom Church, which is the city
church in every city of every nation in the world.
