Is there anyone who is Apostolic anymore?

It would be a utopia for sure, and a much better world to live in.

Now, just define "follower of Christ" and have everyone agree to that definition and we'll be on our way.

That is the definition Scotty... Simplicity has replaced the complex and each man is indeed working out his OWN salvation... helped along by a group that loves him like Jesus did.

Your post just made me think of it and gave me a little hope that it once was and one day shall be again.

I pray the day never come (while knowing very well that it might) when the church will see enough adversity from without that we will stop creating our own divisions from within and will unite as a matter of survival. How it would please God if we could do it without being forced.

I agree. And sometimes I wonder how things would be if that one line was left out of the bible, working out our own salvation. I'm sure at some point this is where the division started. Even the apostles had to part ways. Yet they never saw each other as unsaved, nor did they continue to tear one another down.

If this place could garner that kind of respect for one another's convictions, it would be a good starting point.
