Apostolic Identity??

notofworks · #1 10-26-2010, 12:59 AM

So I was looking through Facebook and I noticed that David Bernard had one, so I couldn't help but click. In that little box thinggy it said, "General superintendent of UPCI. I believe in Apostolic identity."

So I keep hearing this term "Apostolic Identity"? I guess I'm out of the loop so can someone tell me what this means? Is this how you spot an Apostolic from across the grocery store, or how to catch one sneaking into the movie theater, or what?

I don't get it.

Oh, I would just ask him, but his page says he doesn't answer questions. I think I'm gonna put that on my Facebook!

Do a search on "Apostolic Identity" on the forum. It's been discussed quite a bit.

Apostolic Identity is a new term for Holiness Standards.

I believe in Apostolic Identity as well. From what I read... they will know us by our love one to another.

That is Biblically based Apostolic Identity.

I did....I'm not looking for 400 pages of bickering, I'm just looking for a simple explanation. It just sounds weird and cultish, but I don't wanna label before I know what I'm talking about.

I have this funny feeling that's not what he meant.

I think when DB talks about Apostolic identity he is talking about the things that distinguish his movement from the rest of Christianity.

And why is this identity important? Why would a part of the body of Christ set themselves apart from all the rest? Fundamentally, I have a problem with the idea.
