The office of apostle was not simply a teacher, or leader (Pastor/Bishop) but encompassed all of the gifts of the spirit in one person, the most important of which was the clear discernment of every spirit, and command over them.
There were only 12 apostles, as Revelation states; the office was not one that men could pass on.
you think the doctrine of apostolic succession means there are more than 12 apostles or that anyone thinks there are apostles today?
it’s hard to not laugh like a clown at such thinking, much like Constantine was born on 12/25 and other such nonsense!!
look up “apostolic succession” to educate yourself.
