Apostolic Tutorial...PLEASE read!!!!!

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Dear list,
	I am planning to create an interactive tutorial about Apostolics 
using
"NEOBOOK" software.  It is a program that creates something much like 
a webpage. 
There are buttons to take you to other pages and you can add graphics.
  I am going to
treat this like a book with different chapters/sections.  But, I 
REALLY need your help.  If
anyone has done anything like this before, I would really appreciate 
you email-ing me. 
BTW: If you would like the neobook software as well, you may email me 
:-).  Ok, now
on to your part.  I want to create a book that talks about the 
diversity of people and
organizations within the Apostolic community.  I want to explain 
where we get the term
"Apostolic".  I want to talk about why we dress the way we do, what 
we believe (no
theological essays...this is for the person who has never sat in a 
church as well...), who
our leaders are, how people can contact churches in their area, etc.  
Also, I want to
include an article about sarcastic/funny/"stupid" statements made 
about us, some
examples of them, and some examples of funny jokes that would be 
acceptable to us.
(Jokes, ABOUT Apostolics, or including Apostolics, that is).  And, I 
think it would be
affective to have a section on how we differ from most "Pentecostals".
 

So, here are a few suggestions for topics (They may be divided up, if 
ya'll think it would
be effective):
1) Who we are (What Apostolic means, historical references?)
2) What we beleive (Short, to the point?)
3) Who some prominent figures in the Apostolic Community are...
4) The diversity of Apostolics
5) What stereo-typical statements you shouldn't make around an 
Apostolic
6) How we differ from other lines of Christianity and Pentecostalism
7) Contacts.

Please, if anyone would like to write anything on these subjects or 
has ideas on the order
of the chapters, subdivisions of the chapters, other topics, etc....
please attribute!

I REALLY would appreciate anyone out there who feels they are 
qualified to write even
a short letter/essay on one or more of these topics.  Although some 
of these articles will
and maybe should be written by a pastor, I feel that others(/most?) 
should be written by
the laymen to provide an objective viewpoint...then, again, I have 
been known to be
wrong (shhhhhhhhhhh!) =>  
P.S. I am looking for a catchy title.... ;o)   PLEASE write in ya'll..
.and unless our brother
moderators don't feel this should be accomplished in a thread on the 
list,  I'll be looking
for ya'll to write in about it so the list can read and 
aprove/disaprove.  

P.P.S.  my name will not be on one bit of it, except to contact about 
mistakes and/or to
contact for more info.....this is not my effort, but I really think 
it would be a good idea to
educate the larger population on us'ns "Other" Pentecostals.... ;-)

P.P.P.S. :-) If anyone has Apostolic backgrounds, apostolic graphics 
(I have many regular
graphics...about 80) please email me about it....thanks.

I affirm the biblical foundation for a relationship with God: We are 
to turn away from doing wrong, be baptized in the name of Jesus in 
accordance with scriptural examples, receive the marvelous gift of 
the Holy Spirit, and embrace a daily walk with Him. (See Acts 2:38)

Send all questions on Apostolic doctrine to me...ex: What is an 
Apostolic?
