Oh, I see. Apostolic succession simply one who follows the Church's teaching. Thus, if the Church states something to be true, and if someone preaches what the Church states to be true, then what they say is true, is true once the Church says that what they preach is true.

Got it.

No you did not. Apostolic succession has nothing to do with preaching, other than if you preach heresies like Luther, the validity of the ordination is not going to save you.
