Claiming that one is "Apostolic" to the exclusion of everyone who disagrees with you is nonsense. You don't have any more claim to the term Apostolic than the Catholics who use the term.

Let's also remember to abstain from eating meats with blood in them-- one of the Apostles' other doctrines.
Or is that New Testament scripture not important for today's Apostolic people?

Funny that you want to be apostolic but when the Apostle Paul was asked he didn't say, check out one phrase from Peter's sermon.

Maybe you should ask what did Paul tell the Phillipian jailer....
Not even my Pastor has been able to explain that verse away in my mind.

Does that make you "better"?
No, just means you won't burn in hell like you deserve. |

So you're saying that 'Saved" isn't better than "Unsaved"?

There is only one faith that was delivered unto the saints....it's apostolic. Whether it's my flavor of "apostolic" or someone else's is beside the point.

Catholics don't adhere to the apostolic doctrines from the scriptures alone.

Luke didn't write out the entirety of what Paul told the jailer but we can guesstimate that the gospel and baptism was part of what Paul spoke to the jailer and his household.
