Subject: What is an Apostle? |
Bible Note: Hello, John Reformed, I couldn't help but notice you captalized "apostle". Interesting. I recall in Acts where Phillip was "sent" by the angel of the Lord into the desert. He brought the Gospel to the Ethiopian eunich. Would you consider Phillip to be a "missionary" as we know that term today, or would you consider Phillip to be an "apostle"? Who laid the "foundation" in Ethiopia? Phillip didn't go there, he "flew" to another city. Anyways, I have read some of the other postings on this thread and say - I agree with what Tim and Makarios have written about this topic. P.S. You asked, "If the church asks you to take a message across town to another church, does that make you an Angel? :-)" I must confess - often when I am sent on such a venture, as soon as I walk into the other church, the receptionist will look up and blurt out something like, "Halo". So perhaps I am an angel. Or, does she say, "hello"? :) |
