Can We Become Too Apostolic?
 

I have been thinking today, about how proud some of us are that we're Apostolic.
At times, it even seems like we think that being thought of as Apostolic, is more important than being thought of as Christians.
Is it possible to be caught up in being more of something, that we forget our purpose?

Wow......you have come into the oxygen - - what an excellent point you have made!!!!

Surely you speak in jesting tones here cneasttx.

There is nothing more important than our apostlic heritage.

If it wasn't important why on earth would it be the only topic they preach on a ladies retreat?

MY heritage starts with Jesus Christ. At the first drop of His blood, my life began.

Maybe someone that preaches at ladies retreats, should preach about Jesus.

In all honesty if one is truly Christian and truly Apostolic then there is little difference. It is merely a matter of semantics. Being Apostolic is no more than being a true Christian. So, no, you can't be too Apostolic.


That is my opinion and I'm sticking to it. :whistle

Unlike my others, (my wife included) I am not a 4th generation "Apostolic" or Pentecostal. So I may not have the same admiration of modern heritage as some I attend church with.

I truly prefer to known as simply a "Christian" and if further description is needed, then Conservative Christian" is fine with me.

Well, Dan Alicea was more Apostolic than any of us and he has been banished.

Re: Can We Become Too Apostolic
 

Well This one thing I know. We cannot become to close to God.

Re: Can We Become Too Apostolic
 

ahem... In all honesty should we not openly declare 99.9% of "Christians" to be of the false variety?

Is this the kind of transparency we want?

To equate non-Apostolic with non-Christian - from Dr Dobson to Corrie Ten Boom?

I THINK NOT. I am content to be Christian.
