How do we know that the apostles were not infallible?

Answered in 1 source

The actions of the apostles, such as taking the initiative to choose Matthias, demonstrate their fallibility.

The apostles, while chosen by Christ for their significant roles, were still men who displayed both weakness and sinfulness. For example, Peter’s decision to stand up and propose a new apostle illustrates a human initiative rather than a divine mandate, as noted in Acts 1. Paul also faced rebuke for compromising the gospel in Galatians 2. Their fallibility serves as a reminder that only the Scriptures they wrote under divine inspiration are infallible. Thus, believers are encouraged to rely on God's word rather than any individual’s actions.
