Yeah , Being WOKE to me , meant getting a facefull of cold water at 5 A.M. ,when I didnt get up when my ole man said too .
Yes; that is being AWAKENED... Pleased you caughtthat, Mcbammer. That is another example of mental laziness, taking a word such as awakened and simply saying "woke"..for lazy reasons, I assume.
I notice there are several "views" of the question, but you are the only one thus far, who has replied, so perhaps I better explain ... BTW..thanks for the reply.
1) Fundamentalist.. There are some folks who have their minds made up completely, concerning all of scripture and will not budge on any point. Rigid as cast iron ! My take is that there are several fundamental beliefs which are held by all credible Christian bodies, beyond that the rest can be considered, discussed, and personally interpreted. I call those who hold to those "fundamentals' as fundamentalists.
2) Apostle.. The way I read the Bible, Apostles had to have met Jesus personally..and be appointed an apostle by Him. Still, there are some groups that refer to some of their leadership as apostles. Not for me, but that is their choice.
3) Evangelical.. I take the "dictionary" explanation of evangelical..that is, one who seeks to evangelize, or lead others to salvation. Some folks seem to think "evangelical", also includes the pentecostal or Charismatic experience. Although an evangelical churchcan include those things (IMO), there are many local churches including my own that does not include that.
4) Prophet... As with the title apostle, some church bodies refer to some of their leadership as prophets. I happen to believe John the Baptist was the last OT prophet...and he spoke up about 400 years after the others ceased their speaking. ..But that is their choice..and they are welcome to it.
..Hope that elucidates just a bit. So just keep in mind, when you hear any of those terms, it may just mean something other than what you may think it does.
