What are you?
 

I was talking to my roommate tonight and she started discussing her family's various religions and spiritual paths. She ended her story with a question.

"What are you?"

"Hebraic roots. But not really."

I sat and ran though labels in my mind. What am I?

Apostolic? While in some ways I identify with the sort of Apostolic mostly presented here, in so many others I know I could never live up to the Apostolic expectations that some post. Because those expectations are what the world associates with Apostolic, when they know what it is, I hesitate to use the label.

Christian? I despise this term because of what it stands for in my mind. In the truest sense, yes I am a follower of Christ, a Christian. But I am not any of the things I immediately think of when I hear or say the word.

Here I drew a blank. What am I?

"Christian I guess, sort of."

So what are you?

Re: What are you?
 

follower of Jesus...

Re: What are you?
 

Christian, absolutely.

Re: What are you?
 

Follower Of Jesus,and His word.

Re: What are you?
 

Doing my best to try to live my life in a way that pleases my Jesus.

Can I ask, why is that "Christian" holds such a bad flavor for you?

Re: What are you?
 

Spirit Filled Believer that works for me.

Re: What are you?
 

Born Again Christian.

Re: What are you?
 

On my business card it says that I am:
Apostolic in doctrine
Pentecostal in experience
Charismatic in practice
Non-denominational in affiliation
Inter-denominational in fellowship

Re: What are you?
 

Methopentamatic

Re: What are you?
 

I still say I am Pentecostal because I believe what happened on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 still happens, but also I don't agree with everything that has "Pentecostal" on the sign.
