Right. But the corollary to that is, if they exist, how to you know who they are?

Are we just supposed to call people apostles who we think are apostles?

Or are we supposed to call people apostles who say they are apostles?

Another corollary is avoiding the problems of false apostles. If being an apostle is such a fuzzy matter, aren't we opening the door to false apostles and major damage to the Body of Christ?

This thread has made me even more skeptical that there are true apostles today. We can't even agree on what an apostle is. So how are we going to know one when he comes along? This is a practical issue, not a theoretical one.
