I was just going to mention that I was going to go get my hair cut. I won a free haircut the other day and I am going to collect! Then, I remembered that that would offend people and that some people are against that. Wow. You know that story in the Bible where the boys got thrown in the fire and when they came out they didn't even SMELL like smoke? I feel like that most of the time. 19 years in the UPC and I forget that cutting my hair offends some people. LOL! Boy, am I happy to not even think about those things most of the time!!

On a more serious note - I think this forum represents the fact that the definition of Apostolic is changing. It no longer represents just the ones who believe the typical Pentecostal doctrine + standards. There are now a lot of people who consider themselves Apostolic, but don't tack on the standards, etc.

Maybe it's time for you all to change your label? It's happened before, after all. That's why the change from Pentecostal to Apostolic. Because too many people were calling themselves Pentecostals, but not toe-ing the required line. Maybe it's time for a new name again?

We could have a counter-site: FriendsofApostolicFriendsForum.
Or those that complain about it not being Apostolic could start their own counter-site: FriendlyApostolicsforum. If they could live up to it, that is...

Yeah... that's not a very good one for several reasons.

1. It was typed AFTER you made your suggestion. I have to assume that you had reasons previous to making your suggestion.

2. The kind and wonderful lady you quoted had also already made the following statement...

ExApostolicFriendsForum would cause no problems for me, but most people here aren't ex-apostolics. I oughta know because I really AM one!!

So... to me... that is a poor and, due to it's timing, invalid choice you have made for an example.

Wow... the examples must be few and far between unless it is the mere fact that apostolics "tolerate" the existence of ex apostolics in their mere presence that bothers you.
