definition please

[mavislb]

A few years back someone with from an independent charismatic church in town asked me where I went to church. When I answered Church of God of Prophecy, he commented that we were "Apostolic." I have wondered ever since what that word means. A mention of them was made in another thread (groups with a "special" message just like the Apostolics and "Jesus only"). Perhaps someone could please define for me so if and when the question ever comes up again I will know what to answer.
