Status Updates From The Ongoing Role of Apostle...

“Calvin affirmed an on-going role for missionary apostles in his comments on Ephesians 4:11. ‘I do not deny that the Lord has sometimes at a later period raised up apostles, as has happened in our own day. For there was need for such persons to lead the church back from rebellion of Antichrist.” (Pg. 19)

“The English word apostle comes from the Greek apostolos, which ‘always denoted a man who is sent, and sent with full authority.’” “the common frequent Christian use of the rarer noun “apostolos” to describe an agent sent on a mission reflects the missionary focus of the early church.” (Pg. 2)
