I think the apostolics are about 20 years behind the charismatic/contemporary curve, but catching up fast. Which I don't think bodes well.

I would not say that that preacher had the right gospel, but he has something
that many ( I don't say all) of us Apostolics sometimes seem to be neglecting.
All too often I hear the brethren point to the name of the temple (denomination)
and argue about baptism ( and that is good). However, that man is pointing to
and USING "...the NAME that is above every name that is named...".

Sometimes we forget this simple fact: HIS NAME IS JESUS!

Preachers should be preaching for results not response. Response is what those "more alive" preachers are going for.

Hey, does "CC" in your screen name stand for "Church of Christ"?

Oh, and a youtube search for 'baptist' doesn't pull up PAGES of "baptist hair styling tips", unlike just searching "apostolic"...

you must have google holy magic hair once to often. When I google apostolic I get nothing about hairstyles.

EDIT: And then i realized you said youtuve. I found 2 out of the top 10 that certainly centered on hair. That's pretty fascinating.
