A Apostle A1
[Opinion] No one should have any title for the purpose of receiving honor. Nor should anyone wait for a title to do the work God has appointed. The title recognizes one who has done the hard work of plowing the ground for the gospel to be planted. The original apostles had the further distinction of having been with Jesus. But when they were replacing Judas, they were selecting a bishop, not an apostle. [1]
