It seems to me that only Paul emphasized his Apostleship. I don't remember any of the others calling themselves like "Peter an Apostle." I believe the reason for this was the ongoing efforts of the Jews to discredit him. Still Paul never said he was the MOTA, or The Apostle. This tremendous leap of credential facilitated much corruption in the Recovery.

I remember hearing for years how the Recovery was built upon a "man for every age." This distorted view of church history has damaged all those who received it. Paul said "all are yours." He also said that those who are "of men" are fleshly. It just amazes me that we studied those verses so many time, and never made the "connection."
