Where Are The Real Apostolics?

A "kiss" is not always a giant sucking of the lips! It can mean to touch lightly or brush against. That is more what I practice, though my Mennonite family often still practices the lip/cheek kiss for brethren.

This is pretty much what we do as well, but if a new brother comes into the faith and doesn't have the understanding of how everyone greets, and another brother comes up to him and tries to give him a holy kiss, what is he going to think?

In the Greek, the word which is translated as "kiss" in Romans 16:16, 1st Corinthians 16:20, 2nd Corinthians 13:12, 1st Thessalonians 5:26, and 1st Peter 5:14, literally means a "friendly," or "brotherly" kiss. Still, it is just not any "friendly" or "brotherly" kiss, but a HOLY friendly, brotherly kiss.
Something like what you would receive from your dad, mom, Peepaw and Meemaw.
