He also taught that there have never been nor could there ever be any real prophets since the first century church. I was a fairly new Christian at the time I attended ABI, but I had read enough of the Bible in the less than 2 years that I had been saved to know that there were about 20 apostles in the New Testament. If the man, who has taught and influenced hundreds of ministers and many, many officials in the UPC was wrong about this, what else was he wrong about?

Hi Sam. I have always wondered about these extra apostles.Were they really apostles like the original 12? I have read the NT again to see what it says about these other people such as Andronicus,,Junia, etc. I have also read that there are specific qualifications in order to have been an apostle. Such as one had to have been an eyewitness of Christ.
