Apostolic or Pentecostal

I think most of us on the list are Apostolic-Pentecostal by definition.
Apostolic means we follow the teachings of the Apostles as they were
taught by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Pentecostal means we believe in and accept the experience that was
experienced on the day of Pentecost, i.e. the pouring out of the gift of
the Holy Ghost evidenced by speaking in other tongues.

I would hope that we ALL fulfill these definitions in our lives.
 
> Pentecostals   
> teach tarying for HG   
> wait for the Lord to move
> waiting for gifts of the spirit
> time to gossip and bicker
> being part of the worlds problem

Very biased and untrue statement. I know MANY "apostolic" churches that
do these very same things.

> Apostolic
> teach HG from either hearing the Word or prayer by ministry
> going trusting God to lead and guide as they work
> operating gifts of spirit
> to busy reaching the lost for infighting
> taking the solution to the world's problems to the world

Likewise, I know many pentecostal churches who have this ministry to the
fullest. Let me be VERY harsh here...from your posts, you sound like you
may be part of the first group by your own definition.
