What to call any church that is NOT Apostolic????????????? A false church.
I had a person ask me once "If you was not Apostolic what would you be?"
I said "Nothing like everyone else."

What's wrong with a person saying that he or she is a member of "The Church of Jesus Christ - Oneness" ..........There are Lutherans and Catholics who equate Apostolic with a Catholic organization. I know that sounds weird to us, but there are some out there who do. I'm not saying don't call yourself Apostolic, but I can't see that it is wrong to say Church Of Jesus Christ - Oneness.

Not a thing wrong with that.
It is NOT the Name over the door but the message preached in the pulpit-the experience recieved by the members and the lifestyle they live that determines the True Faith.

I don't think that having the name over the door is essential (as some do) but I think it's the best name to have associated with the church. Also, I agree - the people living for God make "The Church" - not a sign.

By the way the name of the church I pastor is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Mitchell." The name over the door is "The Church of Jesus Christ." But I do not think the scriptures give us a name to place over the door nor an exact designated name of the church.

I have no problem with using the term "of another faith". I think in this context normally the word "faith" can be interchanged with the word "doctrine". It signifies a belief system rather than just a belief in Jesus.

Here are two different views of it.
I guess my own view is almost a third view - that the various denominations are a part of the One Faith [that of Christ Jesus] not so much because they all agree but in spite of the differences.
It is the faith and belief that Jesus Christ is the only true Son of God, who came to suffer and die on a cross for the sin of mankind.

And it's not too awful far of a drive from "The Church of Jesus Christ with Signs Following and Snakes Slithering."

The definition is what this thread is about. It is apparant it means different things to different people.
The way I have often heard it used is like this... "Our nieghbors were very nice people but of a different faith than us" (meaning a different Christian denomination)
I think it is only used correctly when the faith in reference is one that does not believe in Jesus.
