Ah, then I misunderstood. You're saying there's no discontinuity while the Apostles were alive.

There remains no more need for the laying of any foundation…

Yes, only one foundation is needed. We disagree on what that foundation is.

For us, it is the holy apostolic church continuing from the foundation to the present. For you guys, it's.. discontinuity.

Do you say that the foundation is anything other than Christ, the prophets, and the Apostles ?
1 Corinthians 3:11 For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

We believe in a continuity of moral likeness - i.e. those who have Christ's Spirit and adhere to his words are his true followers - none other.

Anyone who claims to know Him and doesn't live a life like Him is a liar no matter who has laid hands on him.

The Jews thought there lineage would secure for them the Kingdom. John told them that God was able to raise up from the stones descendants of Abraham - not that's discontinuity.
