Is there anyone who is Apostolic anymore?

[Andrew8383]

Most of my Sunday school teachers, friends from church, pastors family have all backslid. This is from my childhood not my current church. My current pastor still believes in the old standards and ways, which I love. I'm the Youth Pastor and I know the bible speaks of the great falling away but it makes me so angry to see this. Anyone else notice this in their area?

Yes, i've noticed it more and more..... I'm a 5th generation apostolic. I feel like a first tho, my entire family has left the church. I am the only one in a Jesus Name Holiness church. It's very discouraging sometimes.

Define apostolic according to scripture.

[mdmuenstermann]

Apostolic (as it relates to the bible) in basic; To follow after the teachings of apostles. Agree or disagree?

I think perhaps the one who posted this was relating to more of what I would call "Apostolic Heritage" on a traditional spectrum.

I follow the Apostles doctrine including Acts 2:38. I dont follow false doctrine like its sin for men to have a beard. Or like its sin for a woman to trim her hair. Surely you dont teach such things amen?

I don't believe it's a sin for a man to have a beard, but if my pastor says to keep the unity of our district that he doesn't want anyone with a bear or mustache on the platform, I will conform out of obedience.

However, cutting of the hair for a female, I do believe is a sin.
