Have you heard this one?
A few months ago I started a thead with what people perceived apostolics to be. Not to rehash because everyone has their own option. Plus it is a good excuse to check the archives.
In that thread I mentioned a co-worker who gave me her definition of apostolic pretty much confirmed with an average outsider would label an apostolic.
Here is a twist I never saw coming. The same lady gave me her definition of what an apostolic is has a different defintion for pentecostals.
She is sittiing in the break room telling us about a conversation between she and her sister about the coulottes (sp? to tired to check) she wore to work. My co-worker said my "sister took one look at me and said that I looked like a pentecostal".
Has anyone heard that being a part of the definition of ''PENTECOSTAL"? The key word is "Pentecostal" not "apostolic". I'll admit that is the first time I've ever heard coulottes (again sp?) indentified with pentecostals.
Has anyone else heard similar remarks? What are the ramifications when a pentecostal's is defined as such?
I'm sorry if I disapoint the masses if they expect a acerbic cut against pentecostals. I am methodical in my research. Most who know me know I'm pretty solid on research. There is not enough anectdotal evidence to suggest society thinks all pentecostal women wear coulottes(I would not be offended if someone corrects my spelling). I hope to provide an interesting topic.
