A love feast you mean, & not the Lords supper? (yes I looked it up)

2) Do you own personal property or do you share it all with all believers? Acts 4:32-The Apostles held all things in common.

Yes, the Apostles did & they were heavilypersecuted too--do you mean to say that because we are not beaten, we are not Apostolic? Surely not!

3)Does your shadow heal people? Acts 5:15 Peter' did.

I don't know if it was my shadow, or my hands laid on someones head, or my bad breath LOL! Does it make a difference? By that token, then only the Apostles were Apostolic & that seems rather specious in your argument!

4)Do you keep a Saturday Sabbath? Acts 13:43-44 The Apostles did.
They were rebuked by Paul for holding onto Jewish traditions! Nice try.

Be careful what you call "Apostolic", I can almost bet your idea of "apostolic" and the Apostle's idea are many worlds apart! Following the teachings and traditions of man does not make one Apostolic! And for that matter, shouldn't we rather be called Christians (Christ Followers) rather than Apostolics (Apostle Followers), I mean, Who died for your sins, Jesus or Peter?

I call Apostolic, that Doctrine, that the Apostles taught whether they taught on Monday, Sunday, on the streets in the synagogue, or in prison!

It is the doctrine that is imortant!
