Who authorized any of the Blendeds to become Apostles?
Their authority is illegitimate. It is self-assumed and self-appointed.
The apostle Paul was many things to the churches he founded, none of which are seen in the Blendeds.
For example, the Blendeds sent operatives into the Ohio area working with dissidents to overthrow and discredit the established eldership, sue the elders in the court of law, and seize all church assets including their name. That's right they sued to get their church name.
None of these Blendeds nor their operatives at LSM or DCP
ever spent any time in the Ohio area. They were just like the Judaizers who claimed allegiance to Jerusalem. Instead of saying, "
unless you are circumcised, you cannot be saved," they effectively said, "
unless you are subject to Anaheim, you cannot be a local church."
