By the way, I don't like the term CHRISTIAN either....throughout the NT we were overwhelmingly referered to as SAINTS in the epistles , not christians.
The word Christian is only used 3 times in the NT......what's even more thought provoking though is that the number of times the word Apostolic is used in reference to believers is ZERO. |
Acts 11:26
And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
and it's in the book of Acts IsolatedSaint

Re: Can We Become Too Apostolic
Yeah, that's it.
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace.
In the mansions bright and blessèd
He’ll prepare for us a place.
When we all get to Heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!

At times, it even seems like we think that being thought of as Apostolic, is more important than being thought of as Christians.
Is it possible to be caught up in being more of something, that we forget our purpose?

I never heard the term Apostolic when I received the Holy Ghost in 1961. In fact I rarely hear it except when I see it on forums.
We were called Jesus only or holy rollers.
I'm still Jesus only and a holy roller and like Minnie Pearl use to say.
"Howdy, I'm just so proud to be here."

I am Pentecostal.
I really only learned of Apostolic on GNC. Of course that led me to AFF.
