Apostolic

A man or woman who claims to be an apostolic is one who lives for God, whose name is Jesus. Here are a few of many things Apostolics believe in:
*Being a good person is part of being a good christian
*Jesus is God and Savior
*Heaven and Hell are real
*To be saved you must be baptized in Jesus name
*The only way you can get into heaven is through Jesus
*Your children will have to bear punishment for your sins
*You will bear punishment for your sin
*You will be accountable for all sins you commit after you know the truth
*Prayer is not optional to get to heaven, it is required
*Baptism is not sprinkling with water, it is full submersion

Some Apostolics can be identified by:
*Read KJV bible only
*Women don't cut their hair
*Women wear dresses that at least cover the knees
*Neither men nor women wear jewelry
*Both men and women Wear sleeves at least covering elbows
*Men have short hair
*Men Wear pants (at least covering knees)

To find out how to be a better person and a better christian, you should read the bible (KJV) and learn as much as possible.

Note: Some Apostolics and Penecostals are very similar, and sometimes the same exact religion, so note sometimes Penecostals call themselves Apostolics and vice versa
Some Apostolic Scriptures:
Ephesians 4:5-One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism

Acts 2:38- Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

John 10:30-33 I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

apostrophe

The most overused and underappreciated punctuation mark utilized in the writing of the English language. It is used to indicate the omission of a letter (elision) or letters in a word, to connect words pronounced successively (contraction), or to indicate possession.
Alternatively, and much less contemporary, is the use of the term "apostrophe" to indicate a short address by a character in a play or poem to an absent party or an inanimate object. The apostrophe in this sense allows the audience a look into the speaker's thoughts toward a person or object that cannot respond (similar to a soliloquy).
-contraction-
Correct: It's movie night.
Incorrect: Its movie night.

Incorrect: Of it's own free will.
Correct: Of its own free will.

He's not the type to say "Don't do it."

-elision-

"O'er the fruited plain..."

-possession-

-in a literary sense...-
Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why
This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,
Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing,
Then Beauty is its own excuse for being:
Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!
I never thought to ask, I never knew:
But, in my simple ignorance, suppose
The self-same Power that brought me there brought you.
by Emerson (1839)
