Ok. If the church is going to separate, then why just separate partially like they do? The only religion I know that truly separates themselves from the world are the Amish. No mortgages. No utility bills. No water bills. No insurance requirements. No medical mandates until 2014. No investing monies into the stocks and bonds. And all live commonly with all their homes the same structure as their neighbor.
Let the church live like them for a true separation.
So you see, it is not a true separation, but just a set of club rules that all must abide by.

If I lived like the Amish, I would never be able to fulfill my calling of taking this glorious Gospel to the entire world. Notice that they are not exactly the most talkative bunch  .

So then you cannot truly say that you are separate from the world then.

They are friendly enough.
And no one really NEEDS a $500 suit and a $40K car or a $100K motor home to take the gospel to the world but plenty o'apostolic preachers/evangelists have them, LOL!

So if they make a good living at doing what they do, they shouldn't be allowed to afford to buy nice things?
I'm glad you're not in charge of the love offering given to evangelists and traveling ministers...

Re: Is there anyone who is Apostolic anymore?
There is a saying you get what you pay for. A cheap suit doesn't last as long as expensive suit. You end up paying more if you buy cheaper. The right $40,000 car doesn't need as many repairs. The motor home beats paying for hotels.
If your mandate is spreading the gospel, you don't need stuff breaking down on you.
