Do you think there are present day Apostles?
Who are they?
Who said they were?
What qualifies them?
Will they be members of the UPC, AMF, ALJC, TULSA TURNAROUNDS, AOG, COGIC, PAW, PAM... okay, so there's not a PAM I don't guess. Just ran out of orgs. etc.
I have a problem with men standing up and declaring themselves Apostles. I was at a meeting a couple or three years ago and it seemed that every preacher that got in the pulpit proclaimed he was an Apostle! I have a big problem with that! Am I alone in this area of thinking?

YES!!! I'll admit to being bugged when people proclaim upon themselves to be an apostle. But I also have to admit those feelings are inconsistent with the repeated self-proclamations of Paul. I don't really know why it annoys me. Our modern-day Christian culture doesn't do it, so I suppose that's it, but it isn't wrong. But it bugs me.
But I believe the greatest day of a modern-day "Apostle", would be Bill Hybels, pastor of Willow Creek Community Church. And for added bonus points, he would never call himself that!!
