What specific "authority" was given to the Apostles which is denied to the general faithful?

Where you been?

Binding and loosing, forgiving sins, etc.

(Reg) What specific "authority" was given to the Apostles which is denied to the general faithful?

Where you been?

Binding and loosing, forgiving sins, etc.

So you are saying only the Apostles can save a soul and/or be the instrument for the forgivness of sin?

IOW the prayers of the "faithful" cannot have the same "power/authority" with God?
