Perhaps the wrong question has been asked.
Does it matter if others deem you able to wear the label Apolstolic.
I wonder how God sees us? I wonder if He doesn't care more about how we show Him to others than a label?
At the end of the day, I consider myself a Christian. I don't care about the other labels. I just hope I reflect God's love, mercy and changing power in how I represent Him in my daily life, my character, my walk with Him and my actions.
The rest is pointless.

Great Post! My son was asking me what religion we call ourselves. I immediately said pentecostal. My husband told our son that it doesn't matter what you call yourself but it does matter that you are a Christian and that you live a Christian life. The more I have thought about what my husband's response was, the more I no longer want to label myself with a religious label.

This will become more and more true as the US enters this post-Christian era.
When agnostics and non-Christian religions will be commonplace.

You have no proof, nor does the bible back up your false teaching of man. This is the devil best yet, to get one to think they can change the inward man through dress, as a sign they are righteous before God and man, Sorry Gods not shallow, nor is He fooled ! You preach another gospel another way, other then Christ!
Your so far off the path it's not even funny~ Now once again give proof of bible to back up were it teaches such a thing as dress is salvation, give text .... If it's there this should be easy........
