The Bible teaches that true apostles were specifically chosen and sent by Christ, and their authority is not replicated today.
True apostleship, as defined in Scripture, pertains to those directly chosen and commissioned by Christ, primarily the twelve apostles who had unique authority and mission (Acts 1:24-26, Luke 6:13). The modern claims to apostleship lack the comprehensive authenticity and miraculous authority given to the original apostles, as their role was foundational for the early church. The message warns against self-appointed apostles who mislead with false teachings and emphasizes the sufficiency of Scripture in teaching and guiding believers today. The completeness of the biblical canon assures us that we do not need additional apostles for church guidance.
