What Makes YOU Apostolic?

stmatthew · #1 07-15-2008, 03:58 PM

I figured if Prax can do it, so can I.

What makes YOU an Apostolic?

Why do you believe you are Apostolic?

What teaching from the Apostles do you follow and obey?

What teachings have you explained away as not needful?

Can one be saved and only obey some of the Apostles doctrine?

Why baptize in Jesus Name?

I'm an Apostolic because "I'm a One-God, Apostolic, Tongue-talking,
Holy-Rollin', Heaven-bound, Born-Again,
Believer in the liberating power of Jesus' Name
I've been washed in the blood,
sanctified by the Spirit, I believe in holiness,
and I suggest to you, to do the same,
I was set free at a Pentecostal altar on my knees,
would you pardon me if I'm not ashamed,
to be a One-God, Apostolic, Tongue-talking,
Holy-Rollin, Heaven-bound, Born-Again,
Believer in the liberating power of Jesus name."

Questions:

1. What makes YOU an Apostolic?

2. Why do you believe you are Apostolic?

3. What teaching from the Apostles do you follow and obey?

4. What teachings have you explained away as not needful?

5. Can one be saved and only obey some of the Apostles doctrine?

6. Why baptize in Jesus Name?

Answers:

1. I believe the Scriptures as written by apostles or by someone connected to an apostle. In my opinion Paul and James were apostles but not part of the original 12 apostles of the Lamb. Luke and Mark were closely connected to apostles. I'm not sure which Jude/Judas/Yehudah wrote the epistle of Jude back toward the end of the NT.

2. See answer number 1

3. I think I follow all their teaching, at least to the best of my knowledge

4. I don't think I have "explained away" any of them. Unless you count some of the things that may only have personal or local application. Like when the Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Timothy chapter 4 where it says:
come visit me in jail quickly verse 9
go get Mark and bring him with you verse 11
stop off at Troas and get the cloak and the books and parchments verse 13
beware of Alexander the coppersmith verse 15
greet Priscilla and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus verse 19
really try to get here (to Rome) before winter verse 21

5. In my opinion, salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and happens when one turns in faith to Him from their sins. Doctrine/teaching is received and absorbed and applied through a life time of growth and development.

6. We assume the early church verbalized the name "Jesus" in connection with baptism but we have no actual baptism described where it says what words were used. However, James 2:7 in some translations seems to imply that a name was called over people when they were baptized. We are authorized by Jesus to baptize people in water. It seems to me that when we do perform that ritual as authorized by Him we would mention His name as the One who authorized us to do what we are doing.

Matt I am Apostolic because I follow the full message of
the book of Acts not just 1/3 of it like most here do. The others
that posted (except Tina) are really Glorified Baptist.

I'm also Apostolic because I believe in isle Running,
hand clapping, shouting, dancing. XUPCers frown upon that.

One last thing, I do not wear facial hair, shorts, tanks, and I
wear a suit and tie to church

But you cut your hair, watch tv, paint your nails and your face,
wear them britches, have short sleeves, and watch mooooovies!
So you can't be saved, walked away, look at where yer at today.
Won't you please change your ways, one day it'll be too late.
You've been bound by sin once agin, come on back, and git pardon,
So you can be a one-god, apostolic, tongue talkin, Holy-rollin,
Heaven bound, born again believer in the liberating power of Jesus name!

I butchered it, but it's the best I could come up with on the fly! You likey?
