"Continuing steadfastly" was a catchphrase from the FTTA. They had a publication titled that. I don't know if they still put it out.

The phrase is from Acts 2:42 "And they devoted themselves [i.e. continued steadfastly] to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers."

How would it be received if you prophesied at a Lord's Table meeting, "we as the recovery are not practicing the apostle's teaching"?

Well, back in the day, if Witness Lee said that we are not practicing the apostles' teaching, everyone would groan and do the equivalent of falling on their faces. However, if anybody but Lee said that, they would be called 'negative'. I suppose it is the same today.
