What is an Apostle

This is pretty interesting:

1Cr 12:27 Now *ye* are Christ's body, and members in particular.
1Cr 12:28 And God has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues.

The Bible says that apostles are set in the assembly.

That's sure the opposite of thinking that they are nomadic and belong to no one assembling group in particular, isn't it?

Lee's footnote here is little more than gobbledygook that expressly references "Universal Church" to reach his conclusions. You already know what I think about that doctrine...
