Re: Is there anyone who is Apostolic anymore?
The apostle's doctrine was a lot more than hair length and what to wear. Very little deals with one's personal appearance. It seems the apostles were more concerned about fruit of spirit and works of flesh, gifts of Spirit, 5 fold ministry, equipping the saints to minister, and bring God's kingdom to earth as Jesus taught.

I think perhaps the one who posted this was relating to more of what I would call "Apostolic Heritage" on a traditional spectrum.

Yes, I agree. Again, thats why I stated; I think the one who posted this was speaking more on the terms of apostolics traditions. However I could be wrong, thats just the way that I interpereted his post.

I hope there's no one with a BEAR on the platform.

Hard time shaving a bear to meet platform rules.

What's wrong with having a bear on the platform as long as they don't get drunk right?

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. ( Col 2:8)
Some people just don't get it.

This is the button to push when one wants to spur discussion about why some are on a higher spiritual plane and those who leave are "backslid".
If you want to know why people "backslide" from the organized church system, just ask them.
It has been my experience that many apostolics do not want to know or won't accept any answer given to them because it is too hard for them to understand where the "backslider" comes from.
Now here is a question for you...do you know for certain, without a shadow of a doubt that all people who leave the church system are backslid from God?

Perhaps it's because those that leave must be deceived and per chance that deception would infect the inquirer and result in their demise also? You know how fragile our salvation is.
Or could it be that they do not want to know because if presented an alternative view point they then have to evaluate that view and make a decision whether it is viable or not. It is so much easier to only listen to what you already know and believe than to face a challenge. Don't nobody rock my boat. You know, like Jesus rocked some fishermen's boat.

Pilgrum gives a viable answer.
