I vehemently disagree.

Re: **Herald Begins Apostolic Identity Campaign **
 

For sure.

I know there are wackos in every movement, but I'm struck by how many Charismatics I've met who clearly havent been grounded in basic foundational Christian doctrine.

I've known some who'll jump and praise God all day long, but their level of Bible knowledge is just nowhere near where it should be. Of course, that just opens a person up to all kinds of unsound doctrine and wacky teachings.

Define doctrine. Which ones?

Re: **Herald Begins Apostolic Identity Campaign **
 

The same can be said of way too many Apostolics.

Edward you are stubborn like a mule!!!

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Acts 2:42

Re: **Herald Begins Apostolic Identity Campaign **
 

Even many who dont have the same "looks" or standards as conservative denominations still consider themselves apostolic.
...Such as many PAW abd COOLJC churches.
Well, not all Pentecostals preach the doctrines the Apostles preach, particularly when it comes to the nature of God, and baptismal forumula.

So "Apostolic Pentecostal" distinguishes us from others who've just had he "Pentecostal" experience , but arent following the apostolic doctrine and practice, especially in regards to Oneness and Jesus name baptism.

I dont know why some folks would have a big problem with the "apostolic" label. I think it's not only well-intentioned, but also pretty accurate.

Re: **Herald Begins Apostolic Identity Campaign **
 

A close friend of mine who grew up Baptist and goes to our church was told by a UPC minister that he was Apostolic and why that word meant so much to him. He then went on to explain why it is important to be Apostolic instead of Pentecostal in order to distinguish himself.

He then asked my friend what the word Apostolic meant to him and my friend said, "it [apostolic] is just another word for saying that your church is too good for everybody else."

I am from Missouri!:spit

I know what the word Apostolic means, Miz.

I just think we picked up the label (recently) to show how holy we are.

I'm still Pentecostal.:thumbsup

Re: **Herald Begins Apostolic Identity Campaign **
 

But what doctrines is he talking about? "Apostolic" and "Apostolic doctrines" can be code for all sorts of things.

Re: **Herald Begins Apostolic Identity Campaign **
 

Love it!!!!!!
