You can be an Apostolic and NOT be a Christian but you CANNOT be a Christian and NOT be Apostolic.

Be more concerned about being like Christ than being apostolic. Too many people are caught up in labels and dig themselves into a hole they are too proud to climb out.

Too many people think being an apostolic (whatever that means) is nirvana.

Congrats on the new beginning. Don't get bogged down with the labelling. You will sell yourself and God short if you do.

How can one say this when apostolic is such a broad term? There is no concrete definition of apostolic.

Main Entry: ap·os·tol·ic
Pronunciation: "a-p&-'stä-lik
Function: adjective
1 a : of or relating to an apostle b : of, relating to, or conforming to the teachings of the New Testament apostles
2 a : of or relating to a succession of spiritual authority from the apostles held (as by Roman Catholics, Anglicans, and Eastern Orthodox) to be perpetuated by successive ordinations of bishops and to be necessary for valid sacraments and orders ()


How's this for a definition?
