[MarkBsnr]

If Matthias was chosen in error, then why was that error not corrected in Scripture?

If Matthias was chosen in error, then why was that error not corrected in Scripture?

It is. There are only 12 foundation stones in the New Jerusalem with the names of the twelve apostles inscribed on them.

And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. - Rev 21:14

Since Jesus chose Paul it is apparent that the Apostles' choice of Matthias was not binding.

Likewise, Cornelius received the Holy Spirit directly from God. Peter recounts this three times in Acts.

If he wasn’t chosen in error, then how could 120 plus disciples choose him and when did they lay hands on him to confer the succession since he took another’s place?

[irishtenor]

It was, with the chosing (by Jesus) of Paul.

If you look at the text, Peter did all this while they were supposed to be WAITING for the Holy Spirit to come upon them. Therefore, all that they did until Pentacost was non-binding. They had no Spiritual power or oversite.
