Of course there can be miracles today. Where is your faith?

Of course. I was referring to those miracles which were for the authentication of the apostolic office. No apostles, no apostolic miracles.

The first apostles WERE the first Bishops!

And they have appointed bishops down the line. Of course there are apostles today!

Holy Orders has three steps —

Diaconate
Priesthood
Episcopate

I realize this may not be what you believe, but there is an unbroken line of succession to the apostles in only one place.....the Catholic Church.

Hi Top- I was referring to miracles by men through the Holy Spirit. Also one pentecostals are the non trinity types?
