As prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the
calling you have received.  Be completely humble and gentle;  be
patient, bearing with one another in love.  Make every effort to keep
the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.  There is one body
and one Spirit-just as you were called to one hope when you were
called-one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who
is over all and through all and in all.....It was he who gave some to be
apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be
pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so
that the body of Christ may be built up, until we all reach unity in the
faith and  in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature,
attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.  Ephesians
4:1-6, 11-13  NIV.

There is a blessedness in unity.  Although Brother Matthew and I may
disagree on how to present Apostolic theology we affirm the reality of
the Apostolic experience of Jesus, the importance of the Acts 2:38
message,  and the faith, and life it brings.  We have a unity in the
Spirit which binds us to the Lord Jesus Christ and to the Apostolic
community.  My the God of love and peace be with us and inspire us as we
serve our common Lord and community from the depths of our hearts until
He comes again.

God Bless All Apostolics!
