Christian is a pagan term for followers of Christ. If I have to tell someone I am a Christian, than I'm not a Christian. You know an apple tree by the fruit it bears. THe ulitimate compliment is " You must be a Chistian". They ultimate response should be "What gave it away">
It has been established by more than one credible source an apostolic label tests poorly in focus groups.
The word
pentecostal is an overused word that loses it's special meaning.
My comment to people who try to pigeon-hole my religious affiliation is to say, I"m whatever Jesus is.
