I think a lot of Apostolics forget that Jesus spent time with notorious sinners and the Pharisees regularly complained about it.
15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Mark 2:15-17, also Matthew 9:9-13)

Would Jesus be accepted in our Apostolic churches today?
