Acts 9: [17] So Anani'as departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

Sound more like Baptism to me then ordination (Holy Orders, or Call), but this is different:

Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to Cyprus. [Acts 13:1-4]

Sound like ordination to me...but then you might not kow the difference. :)

I know when I am being insulted by a self described "intellectual superior" but, no matter, sounds like you are saying Paul was ordained by his equals or, ugh ugh, his organizational inferiors. So much for Apostolic Succession.
