According to the “new Apostles” of the NAR, THEY are on par with the 12 Apostles in authority, so if you ask them, it’s them.
If you are asking me about earthly authority, I’d stick with the writings of the original 12 Apostles,
adding those of the Old Testament Prophets, with Christ as chief cornerstone of how the church should be built on earth.
The Word is alive, the Word is God made Flesh, so it is our earthly authority...
I think that I’m with you on this. I’ll ignore both the NAR and those who declare them to be heretics.

Higher, is my understanding.
A regional church (in the big city .5 hour down the road) run by one of C. Peter's gaggle of soi-disant apostles (this guy's, IIRC, "honorary apostle for life") is opening a branch church in our little city, just down the street from us, in a building vacated by an aging and dwindling PCUSA congregation. I'm just...."thrilled". (not.)
