Lee did the word "apostle" a great disservice claiming that any member could be "sent," and thus an apostle. It was just typical of the semantic word games he loved to play.
He did this purposely to discredit those the church has always accepted as legitimate NT apostles.
I understand that "apostle" is a transliteration of the Greek "apostolos," but the real meaning of this word is closer to ambassador. The apostles were ambassadors of Christ.
In this regard, those who do not properly represent Christ and speak for Him as the Head of the body, should be "recalled" by the Sender, and disqualified.
