What the World Sees as Apostolic
I was speaking to a religious person today and the topic came up about what the difference is between apostolic and pentecostal. I asked her what she though apostolic meant and she ran down this list....
1. Dresses
2. Uncut Hair
3. No make-up
4. No television
She equates apostolics with legalism. She doesn't equate an apostolic as being a spirit filled believer who operates in the power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost.
She reinforces what a vast majority of people think about apostolics. There are some who are intellectually dishonest and would want to question the intelligence of this person, but she is a college graduate, has owned a business, and is a very active member of her church.
Can anyone explain again what legalism has to do with the '' apostle's doctrine''? The world isn't buying it one bit.
