I prefer to be Christian, Jesus is the best example. However, those apostle were pretty good guys.

Depends on who is asking and what their definition of Apostolic is and then depends on the one who is answering and what their definition of Apostolic is.

Apostolic is in the eye of the beholder!
"In your estimation"
You're all members of the "Apostolic Friends Forum" So what, in your estimation, makes you an Apostolic?
Maybe I should bother the people who post in "deep waters" with this one, if it's too heavy for here.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
baptism in Jesus name and infilling of Holy Ghost evidenced with speaking in tongues....working in the gifts of the Spirit... as the Apostles were.
too bad too many associate Apostolic with the outward conservative lifestyle... such as long skirts and hair. Wish we would get back to the beginning.
I agree with you, ForeverBlessed (good to see you post), that we should not be indentified by rules. If I may, let me ask you, do you agree that there will definitely be lifestyle evidence of our Apostolic character through the effective operation of the fruit of the indwelling Spirit of God and obedience to principles established in the Word?

most definitely, but believe that it takes time... and be from the inside working out... and I also believe that not all will look the same... that it will probably depend upon maturity and personal weakness or what I like to refer to as “cross to bear”.
To the pure, all things are pure… someone brought out of deep sin where some things will be a reminder might not be able to partake of things that someone else might. I hope that makes sense.. I just don’t believe this is a one size fits all salvation. We all have our personal walk with God.. and ultimately we should just love each other to a point that we are not worried about what someone applies to their life. That goes both conservative and liberal… let God be God in our brother/sister’s lives. God is able to lead every one to where they need to be… when they are supposed to be there. Anything else will just bring frustration… been there…done that.
