I like one of PV's suggestions, "Sacramental Churches." I am not aware of any Protestants who would claim to have sacraments and be confused as to the difference between Protestant Apostolics and historic Apostolics.

Peace be with you.

Lutherans--that's 1/3 of all the Protestants in the world--certainly have sacraments and value them every bit as much as Anglicans and Old Catholics. And then there are Methodists, Presbyterians, and others who would have a case to make.

I have come to the conclusion RestoreTheRiver reached. Leave it alone. The issue with Pentecostals mistaking the makeup of the forum is not a very large or frequently-occurring problem.

"Apostolic & Liturgical" might work as a qualifier.

I agree. I also like the title "Sacramental Churches" for this forum.

I like this.

How about we merge things a bit?

"Liturgical Sacramentalists - Apostolic Churches"

1. It keeps those who want to simply keep the forum official title of "Apostolic Churches" happy
2. It allows a distinction between Apostolic Churches from the Pentecostal variety.
3. It directly implies a necessity of Apostolic Succession and Tradition, which keeps the intended target audience intact (some Lutherans could argue they are Apostolic [and I admit with some excellent reason] anyway even if we did keep it simply as Apostolic Churches).

Let the Pentecostals change their name. We were here first...

But- I like the "(non-pentecostal)" qualifier too.

...but calling Apostolic Christians "non-pentecostal" is a bit like calling a radio a "non-television". We are pentecostal, aren't we? (Just not Pentecostal)

This is also true- and once they arrive to the forum they soon realise that they are not in a pentecostal forum.

That was my thought, too - "Hey, we're Pentecostal!" Pentecost is a very big deal in Orthodoxy.

Anyway, maybe we should just leave things as they are.
