Re: Is there anyone who is Apostolic anymore?

The apostle's doctrine was a lot more than hair length and what to wear. Very little deals with one's personal appearance. It seems the apostles were more concerned about fruit of spirit and works of flesh, gifts of Spirit, 5 fold ministry, equipping the saints to minister, and bring God's kingdom to earth as Jesus taught.

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

Yes, I agree. Again, thats why I stated; I think the one who posted this was speaking more on the terms of apostolics traditions. However I could be wrong, thats just the way that I interpereted his post.

I agree with this 100 percent.

However, if the question of standards is raised and someone is talking about it, I'm happy to talk about it with them in regards to my beliefs and/or interpretation of the Scripture.
