No doubt Barnabas, Silas, Titus, Timothy, Apollo, and others were capable and faithful yet their contribution was not the same as Paul's.
For instance, Luther was the leading minister for that particular era in the Reformation, not that he was the only one. The Lord used Luther though others were contributors. Moses received the pattern of the tabernacle and it would have been confusing if others Interjected their own ideas about the pattern of the tabernacle.

Were John and Peter following Paul as the leading minister?
Is it confusing to read in the New Testament epistles from John, Peter and others?
Paul didn't seem to care who is the prominent leading minister. I am afraid the idea of "The Minister of the Age" came from people who wanted to establish their own authority and take credits for themselves.
