‎”You Pentecostals claim you want be be the apostolic church? The apostolic church was the persecuted church. Early Christians were martyred by their government, they were reviled in their communities. You probably mean you want the miracles and excitement of the apostolic church. Just remember that the miracles accompanied great suffering. Do you still want to be the apostolic church?” –Vladimir Franchuk, Ukrainian Pentecostal historian.
