3) There are no more Apostles – I have heard this point before. Could you explain to me where you find in scripture the description or resume of what it takes to be an Apostle, and where it says that it was only the ones delegated as such in scripture? I read in 1 Corinthians 4 detailing out the trials of being an apostle, but not the prerequisites of an apostle. The only thing I’ve found in my research, is that the word apostle is defined in the Greek as “a messenger;” or “one sent forth on a mission,” which sounds a lot like a missionary. Examples being, Paul and Barnabus commissioned by the laying on of hands by the early church in Acts, and the disciples who were sent out two by two by Jesus in the Gospels and given the Great Commission. It should be noted that Paul calls Junia, a woman in the letter to the Romans, an apostle, so it is not a description or title designated to just the disciples and Paul. I’ve heard others condemn churches for titling elders or pastors as an “apostle,” however, I don’t see anywhere in the Bible why we consider it a heresy as a sacred title, other than it by held in high regard due to church tradition. I do think churches misuse the word calling their pastor an Apostle, as I’m not sure how the pastor is being “sent out” if he’s staying at the church, but I don’t see how that is a cardinal sin. If you could help me understand this I’d greatly appreciate it.
