Re: Apostles
Yes, along those lines the Lord said "call no man your father" because God is your father.
Likewise I have considered that you should call no man "The Apostle" because the Lord Jesus is "the Apostle". Even at the time of Paul he wasn't "the" Apostle.
Ultimately the authority was not with James or Peter or Paul. It was with the Lord.
