Re: The Emerging Church Road to Rome:


Refreshed, from this article you quoted it states:

"There are no more that hold the office of Apostle today, but the gift of apostleship continues in a different sense. Jesus gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds and teachers at His ascension (Ephesians 4:7-12), and these represent a distinct category of apostles. They do not have the authority to write Scripture as the original Apostles did. They also have a different purpose in the sense of establishing the church – the foundation has already been set."


This is exactly what I have been saying all along. There are no more capital A Apostles, no more that hold the "Office" of an Apostle, as in those that wrote the scriptures and laid the foundation of the church. There is not much argument, even among most pentecostals, to this view point.

But this is not the viewpoint the NAR or other heretical groups hold. They are saying that God is restoring this capital A Apostle Office, and rising up Apostles that God will speak directly through and that will hold the same authority as the Apostle Paul, the Apostle John, and the other Apostles that the people were to listen to that were speaking directly for God.

So, it is very dangerous this viewpoint because it is not biblical at all and these "new" apostles will expect to have the same authority as those that held the Office of Apostle in the bible. It really doesn't get anymore heretical than this.

The foundation has already been laid. We do not need another one laid, especially by these dangerous nutcases.
