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.

Where does it say in Scripture that Matthias was a witness of Jesus. It does not. Therefore your premise is wrong, and all that is built on it is wrong. The Apostles are not required to be witnesses to Jesus and their successors are not required to be witnesses to Jesus either.
