And doesn't follow that with "and then he took away the Apostles" means to me that the office still exists.

Though I gotta admit, most of the fellows running around passing out business cards with "Apostle Bob", or whatever, on it... simply are nothing more than a bunch of poseurs.

There are many though who have done the work of Apostles, planting churches, growing training and raising up ministries. Those guys who are the real deal in today's world typically don't grab the title, they just do the job.

I agree. And yes there are Apostles today as much as there is Pastor's. There are not as many and I have never heard anyone claim to be an Apostle.

I believe Bro. John Hopkins is an Apostle. He has planted many churches. I also believe Bro. Freeman was an Apostle. And I believe Bro. James Kilgore is one. He has planted many daughter works in Houston.

Not sure why this generation seems to want to remove the Apostles and Prophets as not being applicable for today.
