Some (even here) think they own the word "Apostolic". The others are just pretenders!

Apostolic ought to be viewed as an adjective, not a noun.

Just like 'pentecostal' - it ought to be an adjective, not a noun or 'brand name'.

If you believe that just try using the once generic term "Windows" when trying to market something other than a window.

He's not confused.
I thought what he said was funny, but it's appropriate for the conversation.

I agree with him.

And yes, there are situations where an Acts 2:38 believer can indeed own the "Apostolic" label, like when he decides to incorporate his church and form an organization using that word.

Gee...how comforting you agree with Randy that we can copy right names of businesses..

Is that the topic? He wasn't talking about incorporating a church. He was talking about being able to call ourselves "Apostolic"..any individual can call themselves Apostolic and if we want to be dumb yes you can even say to your friends "I'm a window"
