~Understand that you will never be an Apostle of Christ, and that "Apostolic" is generally a subjective definition; it is an attempt to follow Christ using the set of actions related in the NT to the Apostles. Examples might include Joan of Arc, Luther, MLK, and other martyrs. If you are truly an Apostolic, expect to die an unpleasant, or at least untimely death, at the hands of those you have inflamed with the truth.
~Apostolics do not attend 'church.' An Apostolic might lead a service, but has no need to go to a building and listen to someone feed babies milk. Expect a service led by an Apostolic to make you uncomfortable, and quite possibly upset; although services given for accolades are not unheard of.
~More coming...

ok, so we are using different definitions and frames of reference. But, at least you are giving thought to the issue. As for me, I have begin a dialogue with the owner of my local quick stop, where I buy my coffee each morning. A very nice fellow as it turns out. We have had some interesting exchanges.
