I am not putting this out for argument sake, but as I understand it, these revelations are why we call ourselves Apostolic, because we beleive this is what the apostles preached in the beginning. Where as the rest of the church world believes in a triune godhead, and baptism in the titles, father son and holy ghost etc.
Of course I have my own understanding but I am interested in what others out look on this is.

Lots of folks use the term "Apostolic."
It's even part of the Roman Catholic name.
Folks who received the Holy Ghost baptism in the early 1900's called themselves Apostolic before some of them started baptizing in Jesus' name. Apostolic was (still is as far as I'm concerned) more of a generic term for those who believe that the gifts of the Spirit (tongues, healing, prophecy, etc) are available to the Church today.
Only a small group have tried to limit that name to the "One God Jesus Name" faction of the Church.
