As far as the anti-Scriptural doctrine of "apostolic succession," here's everything you need to know...
1. The doctrine of apostolic succession... a. Is without true scriptural basis b. Was devised by false teachers, in an attempt to counter other false teachers c. Has been used by many different churches, each asserting their own validity and authority d. Yet has not prevented wholesale apostasy from God and His Word
2. The Lord's church mentioned in Mt 16:18... a. Is built on the foundation of Christ and His apostles - Ep 2:19-22 b. Grows whenever people respond to the gospel as proclaimed by the apostles - Ac 2:38-41,47 c. Is manifested wherever people continue in apostolic doctrine, not traditions of men - Ac 2:42 d. Is preserved by the power of God and the all-sufficient, once for all revealed, Word of God - Ac 20:32; 2Ti 3:16-17; Jude 3 By remaining faithful to the incorruptible seed, the Word of God, and by His grace, we will receive that "inheritance among all those who are sanctified" (Ac 20:32)... CONCLUSION
BWAHAHAHAHA!
