I agree with rrford that Apostolic & Christian are synonymous as the Apostles were the first Christians.
I see what you are saying though, we try to hard to the thee's & thou's of being a Christian instead of cultivating the "Fruit of the Spirit" in our lives!

Re: Can We Become Too Apostolic
1.There is NO Biblical definition of apostolic.
2. Catholics can provide scripture stating they are as apostolics as blue denim whales.
3. Everyone who believes nothing is more important than apostolic heritage is practicing idolatry.
4. God didn't want call us to be apostolic.
5. Labels limit God. Especially the legalistic definition of apostolic.

If it wasn't important why on earth would it be the only topic they preach on a ladies retreat? |

Re: Can We Become Too Apostolic
I will burn in hell before I identify myself as an apostolic. Or any other religious labe for that factl.
God didn't call anyone to be apostolic. Apostolic is a non-biblical label with definitions as diverse as one wants to be. Everyone thinks they have the market cornered on apostolic. Apostolic is a term used to stroke the ego.
What I see in scripture is if I have to tell people I'm a christian, I may not have the goods after all. The Bible says the world labeled the followers of Christ as christians. Many Bible experts suggests this wasn't a compliment rather a term which is equated to the n-word for black people.
I refuse to put God in the box of religion. Religion is another word for superstition. Superstition is related to witchcraft.
If I'm not a follower of Christ, any label I choose to wear is a pile of manure. It's tougher being a disciple than relgious, but a disciple is scriptural. Religious is not scriptural.
Hope that answers your question.

That is the main point. Preach Jesus as the Apostles Preached Jesus this is the true Apostolic Faith.I totally agree

That is my opinion and I'm sticking to it.  |
And it is correct.
