What are you?
I was talking to my roommate tonight and she started discussing her family's various religions and spiritual paths. She ended her story with a question.
"What are you?"
"Hebraic roots. But not really."
I sat and ran though labels in my mind. What am I?
Apostolic? While in some ways I identify with the sort of Apostolic mostly presented here, in so many others I know I could never live up to the Apostolic expectations that some post. Because those expectations are what the world associates with Apostolic, when they know what it is, I hesitate to use the label.
Christian? I despise this term because of what it stands for in my mind. In the truest sense, yes I am a follower of Christ, a Christian. But I am not any of the things I immediately think of when I hear or say the word.
Here I drew a blank. What am I?
"Christian I guess, sort of."
So what are you?

Re: What are you?
Doing my best to try to live my life in a way that pleases my Jesus.
Can I ask, why is that "Christian" holds such a bad flavor for you?

- Every sinner must repent of their sins.
- That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
- That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
- The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Re: What are you?
I still say I am Pentecostal because I believe what happened on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 still happens, but also I don't agree with everything that has "Pentecostal" on the sign.
