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 It no longer represents just the ones who believe the typical Pentecostal doctrine + standards.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?
Lol. That is unique and thought provoking.

I was talking to the cigarette smoking, hair cutter woman while getting my hair cut. She was telling me about how she lost her son ten years ago to cancer. So, I told her about my husband and his kidney stone (and cancer) and that I'm mad about it. She said she still has bad days but her faith got her through because when you have nothing else you have that. Then she asked me if I was a bar person and told me about a happening at the bar across the way.
I was witnessed to by cigarette smoking hair cutter who bar hops.
And, yesterday, this doofus of a guy that I had little respect for came into the library at work yesterday and NOBODY else asked me how I was doing except him. I told him I was bummed out because of my husband probably needing surgery. He looked sad and then gave me the thumbs up and said "We'll pray for him". Oh, I forgot to tell you he has earrings in both ears
Did I tell you both of them gained some of my respect?
