What do you make of the ordination of Matthias?
Exactly what the Scriptures record (Acts 1:15-26). It lays out what makes one Apostle. There are no modern successors of the Apostles, for one had to have been a witness of Jesus from the time of John the dipper until the day Jesus ascended up into heaven. That is the requirement which no man today can fulfill.
However, any church that sends out one of their own members to evangelize others can be called an Apostle of that particular church group. The Apostle Paul was an exception to the requirements laid out by Peter; for Jesus Himself chose Paul to be an Apostle, and also taught him personally for apparently quite a period of time.
