If I recall none with the exeption of Paul refered to themselves as .... and Paul only refered in the way to say he was sent to the Gentiles. As apostle "means one that is sent" I futher see them not as offices as spiritual gifts that worked with in the body. With the exception of Bishops, elders, and decons, and those were ordained within the body to fulfill administrative fuctions as the body grew.
But that is just my opinion.
