Hey, just for fun let's list names of possible apostles today.

How about :

Billy Graham. Is/was he an apostle? Yes or no? Does it matter either way?

What about Rick Warren, of Purpose Drive Life fame? Apostle, yes or no? Does it matter either way?

What about Jerry Falwell? Was he an apostle or not? Yes or no? Did it matter either way?

What about Pat Robertson? Apostle, yes or no? Does it make a difference either way?

What about John Hagee? Apostle? Yes or no? Does it matter which it is?

What about Joyce Meyers? An apostle like some women that traveled with Paul? Yes or no? Does it make a difference one way or the other?

Anyone else anyone would like to ponder if they were a modern day apostle? The list of possibilities is long.

Was Witness Lee an apostle? Extract the authority element, does it really matter either way?

As much as I've enjoyed this discussion about apostles, I have to say, this concern about modern day apostles is superfluous to the max. If it is so that, there are modern day apostles, it's God's concern, workings, and business. Not ours. If they exist, should we grant special authority to them? Is that the point of discovering modern day apostles? To accept, submit too, and follow and obey a man?
