PREFACE:

Forasmuch as we have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which were preached and practiced by the Apostles, we feel that it is our duty to lift the Apostolic Standard and "earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints," encouraging the rest of the world to do likewise.

In as much as our beloved Apostle Paul gave the following instructions to Titus, we feel compeled to continue this same effort as there remains a great need during this end time era: (Tts 1:5) For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: (Tts 1:6) If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

It remains without question, that in these last and evil days God's standard of salvation has been lowered among many of the leaders of today, who are suppose to be walking with God. But, nevertheless, have lowered the standard and have given heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of the devil. We feel that it is our duty and the expressed will of God to earnestly contend for the Faith and to teach and to warn God's people against the evils of today. Therefore AMA extends to every Man of God who have been called to preach the gospel of the Kingdom the opportunity to become an ordained minister of the gospel according to the doctrine of the Apostles of Jesus Christ.
