***So in Acts 9 until 13:3, we assume Paul did not have the power and authority of Jesus? His teachings in Acts 9 were in vain?***
Any baptized Christian can teach.
***And where was the Apostle who commissioned Paul? They were at Antioch with prophets and teachers, not Apostles.***
Did I say Apostle? No. I said bishop. There was a bishop at Antioch, as there were in all the NT churches.
Don’t worry. Jesus left us His Apostolic Church; and He will be with us and it until the end. We’re okay with that.
Please read back in the thread; the issue was about apostolic succession. Unless your position is that each bishop must be commissioned by the Apostles (or their direct line-of-decent successors)?
In other words, don't confuse the issue with God's word, the scripture...We've got our minds made up regardless of the facts...Ha....
