The terms "primitive" and "apostolic" are used differently by Sabbatarians than in orthodox Christianity such as Roman Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity and many other denominations. These groups consider their practices primitive in that they are based on scholarship and research into the actual writings of the Church fathers and other historical documents. They call themselves "apostolic" in that they maintain a literal Apostolic Succession or historical lineage tracing back to the Apostles and the Great Commission.

  • The terms "primitive" and "apostolic" are used differently by Sabbatarians than in orthodox Christianity such as Roman Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity and many other denominations. These groups consider their practices primitive in that they are based on scholarship and research into the actual writings of the Church fathers and other historical documents. They call themselves "apostolic" in that they maintain a literal Apostolic Succession or historical lineage tracing back to the Apostles and the Great Commission. During the early phase of Christianity the Church was persecuted by Roman and Jewish authorities and survived underground. Thus written documents for the Church of the first century are sparse. To remedy this, the primitive church passed down its knowledge verbally and is reflected in the Church writings that appear prolifically in the second and third centuries. This body of literature forms a body of precedence called "tradition." Sabbatarians, however, reject such tradition and literature and instead attempt to reconstruct (or invent say detractors) primitive church practices as they think they might have been at the times of the Apostles. To do this, they revive practices found in the New Testament that are based on the Hebrew scriptures. The label Primitive and Apostolic, in terms of Christianity, are used by such authors as Alan Knight, Primitive Christianity in Crisis, and Roderick Meredith, Restoring Apostolic Christianity, to describe Christians, who are sometimes called Messianic Christians (see Ebionites), although the term is not completely descriptive of all who follow Primitive Apostolic Christian doctrine.
