By whose standard?

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the most frequent posters do not even attend Apostolic churches for one point. Most do not believe baptism in Jesus Name is important much less essential. Generally when anything about Apostolic heritage is mentioned it is with either distain or to poke fun. Apostolic worship & lifestyle are seen as goofy or strange. Shall I go on?
Again I have friends who post here so I come from time to time. But it is NOT Apostolic.

I agree with most of this.

Apostolic by your definition, correct me if I'm wrong: MUST be baptized in Jesus name, MUST practice holiness standards (as defined by the UPCI, not the Bible) in appearance, MUST abide by a tyranical list of don'ts...etc. The Apostolic worship & lifestyle? If it's not a sudden, unexpected shout, weep, or vigorous shaking while singing or praising, well then...

Yeah, I agree that the most "frequent posters" don't attend Apostolic churches...by your definition. Although calling out anyone isn't exactly wise, I'd be curious to know who you are referring to when speaking of frequent posters...

But, no need to expound on the who since D4T said it very well just above this...
