"There is no indication in these passages that the authority Christ gave His apostles was some sort of "charism" that they would pass on to others.

So then, where did Matthias get his authority?

What specific authority did he have?

He did not run a church.

He was like the other Apostles a missionary, an evangelist.

Know if he did anything with his "authority"? Where did +Paul get his authority?
