A group can call itself apostolic without abiding by the apostolic teachings.
there is nothing that can prevent them from doing so.

AMEN, Beloved. "The disciples were first called Christians first in Antioch." they did not call themselves Christians: but the people (the hearers) recognized the traits of the Lord in them!

As for folks calling themselves Apostolics or Pentecostals, well they could be if their primary doctrine is the gospel that saves.

TPM, why don't you address everyone here who confesses that Jesus is the Christ as "beloved" whether they are one step, two step or three step or whatever?

I think everyone should be called "Beloved", because "...for God so loved the WORLD..."...including all sinners, of whom I was the worst.
The worst sinner today is standing in the place I used to be: and I am standing in the place the worst sinner can be!

Salvation is for everyone; but not everyone will be saved. Their choice.
