If we are to view apostolic grace as super-stardom then of course we will remove it from our time, calling it a first century only practice. I am the administrator of this site. I am well aware that the article in question doesn't provide a 'thorough' picture of true apostles but it did make some good points. If you are open to further clarity on what apostles are and what they are 'not' I have provided the links below to my Underground Leadership series which covers contemporary apostles quite thoroughly.

Hi,

You should check out this link provided below. It provides proof with scriptures as well. The gist of it is, is that "The office of an apostle ceased with its first holders."

It is almost as if we want to see someone with more royalty and fame than the Pope himself before we can claim them to be an apostle (or a person with any calling from God as a matter of fact). I know that everyones calling is as important as each others. No one's calling is more superior than anyone elses. Its time to stop asking for certificates and doctorates before we consider someone worthy of the call of God. The heart is to be examined, not the intellect. I am excited to see uneducated people such as fisherman eg...., lead and plant churches in communities of spiritual dryness. BRING IT ON!!!
