Here are some relatively unknown folks who were considered apostles. Phil 2.25 Epaphroditus was Philippi's apostle. Acts 14.14 Barnabas was an apostle. I Cor 15.7 implies a large number of apostles, separate from Paul and the Twelve. Rom 16.7 says Andronicus and Junia were notable among the apostles. Junia is especially interesting because the name is feminine. Other verses list other apostles.

I wouldn't totally object to calling someone an apostle today. My chief point was that the LRC borrowed the apostolic status of Paul and others and imbued it to WL. So I think every LRC member at one time wondered, "Is God giving WL further revelation?" I know staunch LSMers have no problem with that, and to me it's dangerous.

I agree with this. Rome endues popes with the status of Peter. The Recovery endues WN and WL with the "better" status of Paul. Neither systems have been blessed by this error, and many saints have suffered loss, being robbed of Christ, the Head.
