"Successors to the Apostles" and "Apostles" aren't quite the same thing."
That would be because there are no successors to the apostles.
"But he, and every other validly consecrated bishop, receives their office in succession from the Apostles."
This is an incorrect statement. Your statement is self-condictary. Check out the meaning or successor or sucession in any good dictionary.
"In particular, he can't write new Scripture."
Then why did Seamole claim that he had changed the requirements for an apostle.
"The Bible says so very clearly, when Paul talks about appointing "overseers" (bishops) "in every town" and giving them their office through the imposition of hands."
Please show where a single bishop/elder/overseer (same office)or deacon ever received the laying on of the hands of an Apostle.
I believe that your coaching Seamole is a case of the blind leading the blind.
Let me recommend more Bible study and less listening to the opinion of others.
2 Tm 1:6 -- Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. [NKJV]

What were you saying above about someone resorting to personal attacks???
Let me recommend more Bible study and less listening to the opinion of others.
Great idea! I'm going to begin by ignoring your opinion. Hope you don't mind.
