Not positive who it was, although some would make a case for John.
While I understand the generic meaning of apostle as "sent one," it was much more than that in the scripture. It wasn't just any sent one. It was certain sent ones. Might have been more than just the 11, Paul and a couple of others. But it wasn't every believer who got the "calling" to go somewhere else.

The apostles saw the Lord. Their position was unique. Paul affirms this in writing, claiming that he was one born out of time. 1 Cor 15:8
Anyone who anoints themselves today is suspect. When the only work involved is publishing and book sales, doubly so.
And those who dub themselves age-turners are cranks, or deluded by them. Jesus is the age turner. Stop assuming positions. Love God and your neighbour. Pursue peace. Feed the lambs. Stop with the hysterical pronouncements. Ignorance and fervour won't do it. Sorry.
