The problem with 'apostolic church' unity is the same problem that caused the unity issues with the Methodists, Baptist and others. The bible is a book that has contradictions, inconsistencies and error and folks try to be in unity by following the flawed book instead of simply living a life based upon the simple view that God is love.
Folks want unity from a flawed rulebook where the rules are changing from epoch to epoch. Can't happen.

Seekerguy,
This question is directed to those that consider themselves apostolic.
You did not answer my question but instead injected your opinion about the Bible. Since by your post it appears you don't believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God then I believe you have disqualified yourself from this discussion.
Sorry you feel that way about the book. Is the Koran more reliable? What about Vishnu? What do you use (other than an emotional opinion) to PROVE that "your god is Jesus' god"? What other resource do you have (in writing) that directs you to a personal relationship and accountability to a Holy God? The Bible is the most reliable resource for information about God the Creator and Savior than anything else you may ever read.
My question again, to apostolics is: What do we DO to encourage Apostolic Unity among ministry and laity?
