I'll repeat it again. The point of this thread is to say what the world sees as apostolic is different than what those who claim to be apostolic. I've stated from the beginning it is a matter of perception. There is no inconsistencies with my posts.
In my own opinion, apostolic is a subjective term thus no opinioin from me what apostolic is or isn't. I'm passing along what the world sees as an apostolic. What they see define as an apostolic is far diffierent than what apostolics define.
Refer to Jim Yohe's Believer's Bootcamp. He writes about a Wal-Mart Clerk brush with "apostolic" people in a day to day environment. If I have time later, I'll post some excerpts from the book.

Which is it? They do know or they don't know?
And please do not take some of our answers as self-denial superceding common sense. The real common sense is knowing that subjects such as this never get a fair hearing around here. I learned long ago on FCF that to discuss specific standards was futile. Trying to discuss a subjective term such as "apostolic" is just as futile, IMO.
