I don't know what DAN thinks, but this is what the Word says about an IDENTITY:
John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
Right now the Apostolic church world is failing miserably at this litmus test--both conservative and liberal alike.
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Galatians 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
