Please show where a single bishop/elder/overseer (same office)or deacon ever received the laying on of the hands of an Apostle.

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]

I believe that your coaching Seamole is a case of the blind leading the blind.

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.

Why am I not surprised. Too bad you ignore the Bible writers too.

"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]

Surely you are not saying that Paul was appointing Timothy as a bishop/elder in the church.

Timothy was imbued with the powder of the Holy Spirit through the laying on of Paul's hands. Timothy was an Evangelist as were Titus and Philip. While Philip, like Timothy and Titus had the poswer, he was unable to pass it on. Only an Apostle could do that. (Acts8:14-19)

You need to get back in your own league. You are in over your head.
