Apostles Today???

"My friends, I want you to know that no one made up the message I preach. 12)It wasn't given or taught to me by some mere human. My message came directly from Jesus Christ when he appeared to me.

13)You know how I used to live as a Jew. I was cruel to God's church and even tried to destroy it. 14)I was a much better Jew than anyone else my own age, and I obeyed every law that our ancestors had given us. 15)But even before I was born, God had chosen me.

He was kind and had decided 16)to show me his Son, so that I would announce his message to the Gentiles. I didn't talk this over with anyone. 17)I didn't say a word, not even to the men in Jerusalem who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went at once to Arabia, and afterwards I returned to Damascus.

18)Three years later I went to visit Peter in Jerusalem and stayed with him for fifteen days. 19)The only other apostle I saw was James, the Lord's brother. 20)And in the presence of God I swear I am telling the truth.

21)Later, I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22)But no one who belonged to Christ's churches in Judea had ever seen me in person.

23)They had only heard that the one who had been cruel to them was now preaching the message that he had once tried to destroy. 24)And because of me, they praised God."
Galatians 1:11-24 CEV

It is apparent that we do not agree on this subject. But let's agree to end the discussion here. Our time would be better spent sharing the Good News with the hurting instead of making our disagreement a public debate. Thank you.

mark of an Apostle- signs and wonders. can this man speaking or any other so called Apostle today perform signs and wonders? answer= NO. but Jesus said that there will be false signs and lying wonders. scripture also speaks of false Apostles. I believe Paul for the fact he is mentioned in the WORD OF GOD. but not the arrogant boastful and proud fakes of today.

[sistacala2]

"And these SIGNS shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." Mark 16:16,17 KJV

THE DIVINE TEST OF A TRUE APOSTLE OF YESHUA (JESUS) THE MESSIAH

Peter established a test for apostles:

"PETER said...therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us ALL THE TIME that the Messiah Yahshua went in and out among us--BEGINNING WITH THE BAPTISM OF JOHN until THE DAY HE WAS TAKEN UP FROM US --one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection."

(Acts 1:21,22) In other words, in order to be an apostle you would have had to have been a disciple first!

[sistacala2]

If one is not a disciple (follower) of Christ, then how could such a one be an apostle (sent one) of God?

[sistacala2]

"What Paul says in the Bible, (especially in ROMANS) is from Jesus Christ." says StreetDoctor90 and I agree w/him.

The Apostle Test

"Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Master, Yeshua, went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection." Acts 1;15-17, 20-22,Rev. 21:14,Matt. 19:28

Only 14 people ever qualified!

people come up with every excuse to justify them selves being an Apostle. who appointed them? some other men? it has to be personally directly by Christ. not a dream. when the Apostles spoke it was right from God similar to that of a prophet. what they said was written down and recorded in scripture. today they do not meet the biblical requirement of the OFFICE of Apostle. can Fred Price raise someone from the dead? no but he sure loves his mansion and Rolls Royce

[lunabranwen]

to speak in new tongues (GLOSSA) simply means they will spread the gospel in another language. thats the true meaning in its grammar and context. show proof they can get bit by rattle snakes and live. give them a bottle of poison and see what happens. dont confuse God answering a prayer for the deliverance of a demon possessed person. so again what wonder have they performed? these so called Apostles do not meet the Christ personally appointed, biblical requirement of the OFFICE of Apostle.

[SINGUNTO]

Where in the word does it say Paul got Apostleship through Due season/Revelation? One thing is sure According to Peter and Paul All the Apostles saw Yeshua. And these So called Apostles never seen Yeshua. (I know this is right)
