Q:  What is RPI's relationship to other existing ministries?

A:  RPI seeks the fellowship of other Bible-based ministers and organizations.  We desire to bless them as they fulfill their call.  We hope to work with each one in a spirit of cooperation, while keeping our calling to Apostolics in focus.


Q:  Is there a place in RPI for Pentecostals from non-Apostolic backgrounds?

A:  RPI recognizes the credibility and anointing of various Pentecostal ministers and churches who do not fully subscribe to our interpretation of Scripture and statement of faith.  Being committed to harmony in the Body of Christ until we all come into the unity of the faith, we open our arms to all Pentecostals.


Q:  What does RPI believe?

A:  We believe in the One True God, the deity of Jesus Christ, the authority of the Bible, mankind's fallen estate, salvation by faith, true repentance, water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, discipleship by obedience and holiness, world evangelism, healing and deliverance, the second coming of Christ, Heaven and Hell.  Also see our Mission and Bylaws.


Q:  When do RPI ministers and churches gather?

A:  We meet officially twice per year: once at our annual General Conference and once at the Midwest SpiritQuest conference in LaPorte, IN.  These conferences serve as opportunities for fellowship and to transact business as well as ordain ministers, churches and ministries. We also have rallies in the midwest section of the U.S. Check the upcoming events page for this information.


Q:  What can RPI do for me as a minister?

A:  Our fellowship offers three areas of affiliation.  Associate License is for Pentecostal ministers that do not fully subscribe to our Statement of Faith or for those who are seeking to establish themselves as ministers.  General License and Ordination are for those with established ministries who fully subscribe to our doctrinal statement and are willing to continue their educational process through reading and reporting on recommended books as well as growing experientially.  RPI provides a spiritual covering, accountability, support, and fellowship.  We encourage education, honor experience and expect ethical conduct.


Q:  Who is currently leading the RPI?

A:  Our Chief Presiding Presbyter and President of the Board is Rev. Randy Duncan.  The Board of Presbyters presently consists of Rev. Dan Wright, Rev. Sharon Hollis, Rev. Debbie Cummins, Rev. Kelly Cross and Rev. Laveta Shelton.


Q:  Can churches and ministries join the RPI?

A:  Yes, Churches and ministries can affiliate as Full or Associate Members.  See also Ministerial Credentials.
