Sure, but who's the "we" here? Based on what
Ohio has said, it sounds like there are an awful lot of people for whom this explanation is highly unsatisfactory.
(And we're just talking about in the US, at least I think that's what we're talking about. Aren't there other parts of the world where Pentecostalism is really exploding right now? I don't know what the attitude toward
"Apostles" is in other cultures,
but I sure could speculate...)
