I don't put my faith in the apostles ...

I am not surprised by that attitude. It fits the model I expect where rebellion continually breeds more rebels and a chronic issues with authority.

Christians put their faith in Christ. The apostles can't and don't save anyone. They were men who God used to bring the gospel to the world and in some cases to write Scripture.

Christians don't have a problem with *legitimate* authority. They do have problems with those who try to impose their authority on others, like Catholicism has a history of doing.
