This raises an interesting question.. Christ choose 12 Apostles.. so how many successors are there now? As they "lay hands" on their successors ...do they pass the ability to handle snakes? Heal the sick? Preform miracles? ..where do we find the list of transferable apostolic gifts? Yes it would be nice if Jesus wrote a huge FAQ that answered any conceivable question that we might have. He did not do that though, did He? Perhaps that was intentional and He wanted us to rely upon the Church He set up.
