How do we know Paul was a true apostle?

Answered in 1 source

Paul's apostleship is validated through his unique experiences, divine calling, and the impact of his ministry as described in his letters.

The Apostle Paul's authenticity as an apostle is confirmed through both his calling and the fruits of his ministry. In 1 Corinthians 9, he reminds the Corinthians of his integral role in their spiritual formation, asserting that he is their 'father in the gospel.' His conversion experience on the road to Damascus marks a pivotal point where he was directly called by Christ, setting him apart for the apostolic ministry. Moreover, the authority of his letters and the profound impact of his preaching demonstrate his validation as an apostle of Jesus Christ. Recognizing that true apostleship is rooted in God's sovereign choice, we affirm Paul's apostolic position through the evidence of his divine appointment and the transformative power of his preaching.
