Jekyll, I have a question for you. Throughout your time living for God, is there anything you once thought was right that, through the course of your growth in the Lord, you found out was wrong and then you had to make a change? I am sure it's happened to you just like it's happened to all of us. God is constantly refining us as individuals, molding and remolding us, taking us closer and closer towards perfection. Do you agree with that principle?
Wow, Rico, thanks for your condescendence...er...correspondence. You're right, I HAVE been convicted of SOMETHING. But just once. As Carp can attest, I've been almost perfect from the time I breathed my first breath.

Well, I can't help your interpretation or reading comprehension, so, I really don't know what to say.
No need to feel sorry for me, Prax, my church doesn't have less power, nor does it have more power. God has always been in the midst of our church and when we received His Spirit, we have always been endued with power from on high.
You can't handle the phenomenon that people who believe in the things you despise under the Apostolic umbrella really do have power from God. I feel sorry for the way you limit God and put him in a little box that only Prax thinks He can work in or from.

I am not admin, but I know for a fact Wonder Woman has been banned from avatars. I guess some people got turned on by her and felt it necessary to complain about her outfit.

So, have we yet determined the answer to the question?
It's all relative...
If you (the general use of the word 'you') believe that one is Apostolic who obeys the Apostles' Doctrine which was first preached in the Book of Acts, regardless of other differences of view, than yes, this forum is Apostolic...to you.
If you believe that one is Apostolic who obeys the Apostles' Doctrine which was first preached in the Book of Acts, as well as keeping to your views, and everyone not keeping them is headed to yon lower regions, than no, this forum isn't Apostolic...to you.
Now, dear ones dear any of us obey everything the first church did and practiced? Usually we obey what we like and make excuses for what we don´t like...
It takes much more than Acts 2:38...and 2:42 it there also...
When I read the history of the early christians I weep...I am the first to confess I stand in the balance with them and am lacking...
Please help me Jesus...

I would say that the church has experienced less power from God because of the cares of the world...which include lifestyle "freedoms." I don't consider them minor. The same fight to accept radio is the same spirit that is fighting to accept all media. The things that enticed carnality back then are accepted today.
There sure has been a shift, now that I think about it...and it has been going on for longer than we know.
So you think the church accepting radio was caused by a "spirit"?
Is radio wrong, then?

Those who do "need" media for entertainment have very shallow lives.
Interesting.

Is there no such thing as wholesome entertainment, in your view?
