History has shown this again and again.

The church is apostolic, meaning it's based on the teachings of the apostles. The church has believed that since the beginning. But the apostles are gone. Our apostle therefore is the Scriptures. Nothing more. Nothing less. Any other stance is reckless.

Based on what are the apostles gone? Eph 4 says the Head "gave some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some shepherds and teachers." Are there then no more prophets, evangelists, shepherds and teachers?

Silvanus and Timothy were apostles. Are there no more?
