A UPC church a couple miles from my home has their church and church sign visible from I275. The sign says
Calvary Church
The Apostolic Pentecostals.
Some folks who consider themselves "Apostolic" because of belief in Jesus' name baptism and classify those who do not use that formula as Pentecostal or Charismatic.
I said, "In my opinion...." and that is my opinion.

Yes, the "Apostolic" tag was a further panic for the Jesus Only group to separate themselves and distinguish themselves from their fellow brothers "of the Spirit." However, there are "Jesus Only" people (should we call them that) that don't identify as "Apostolics." Apostolic is not complete without "Apostolic Pentecostalism" which is to say, "Oneness."
