==Main article==
Just like a [[theology]] or a [[tradition]] or an [[ideology]], an apologetic ultimately stands or falls on the power of the [[Holy Spirit]], especially as it is lived by the community of followers of Christ in that Spirit, ''and'' of the apologists as part of that community. There is certainly a time for polemics within an apologetic, but when fighting words are the main course it leaves people wondering : 'Where is the '''''[[love]]''''' [[Jesus]] spoke so often about?' According to Jesus Himself, '''love''' is how we are known as His.
