thats what the scripture says.I think those are the 12 apostles of christ a group that were his disciples, but Paul was also an apostle, and not part of the 12.
After resurrection only Jesus called Paul as His chosen instrument.God gave gifts unto men AFTER Jesus resurrected as we read in Ephesians 4:11. These gifts were apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers. All these gifts are still needed for the church until we all come into the unity of the faith unto the perfect man.
These were apostles and prophets after the resurrection. The original 12 were before the resurrection ( even though their ministry extends to the edifying of the church as well). They had a specific call to be witnesses of all Jesus did from John until his resurrection and they had to go in and out in all Jesus travels with hi,. Certain apostles, such as, Paul, Brnanbas, Timothy and Silvanus and Titus did not have this qualification. So they were apostles after the resurection and this shows that all such gifts are still for today.
yes, and get born again , a new creature in christ .You mean that I should repent for having been born sinner?
yes, and get born again , a new creature in christ .
not the old one that is a prisoner to sin and runs around telling people the lord jesus failed to bring freedom from sin .
(yes yes hohum yawn , out will come the argument that every one sins.
but not every one sins knowingly and willfully. no one who has been set free by the lord Jesus has to do a work of sin.)
take the sin of adultory in looking at porn on the internet for instance.
my wife and child use the net all the time and they've never seen porn .
because they dont make a decision to seek it out.
You see no one does an action of sin which they KNOW is sin ,by accident.
if they say they do they add to thier sin by lying.
and if they continue to practice the sin
they do not yet know God.
Before you think of the future hope, don't forget your background; otherwise, it becomes a shallow speculation!keep reading...he doesnt end the letter there
So you are for sin justification on your own!weve been here before ,,the sin promoting trolls have arrived

I marvel at how you cannot see these clear truths and that God works in all believers and speaks to their heart.
When the word of God came to the prophets. God spoke to them and they would speak what they heard and then it was written down after the word of God came to them. We read that they had the Spirit of Christ in them 1 Peter 1.
The word is the seed sown in the heart and God's word speaks inwardly and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. This word is the true Light which lighteth every man ( since Adam) that cometh into the world. John 1:9 KJV.
When Jesus asked the religious pharisees who studied scripture but did not know Gods word in their heart. He ask how they could not understand his speech, even because they could not hear his word. The word of the kingdom is sown in the heart. If they have a hard heart they cannot hear. Jesus is the true Light that lights all men. They had His light to reprove them and yet they hated the light and did not come to the light.
Some have scriptures but not the word of life in them as the pharisees. Jesus said the kingdom of God is within you. But they hardened their hearts.

If you read it carefully God is saying that the commandment he gave to them in stone was not hidden from them. it was not in heaven or beyond the sea. But the word was nigh them, or close to them, even in their heart and mouth.
Paul says an amazing thing here he takes the Old Testament verses in Deuteronomy 30 and is basically saying God has already preached in the heart of every man by Christ who is the word.
The Gentiles even have the work of the law written in their hearts even though they don't have the scriptures as we read
"14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."(Romans 2:14-16 KJV)
Sure. That Could be A valid comment.Reading God's word and having those words abide in our hearts is not the same as a new feelings or thoughts popping into our heads which charismatics say is God's voice.
That is a claim of a saint and disciple of Jesus. Are you?It is no longer i that lives But Christ that lives in me.
Of course. All those born again of water and spirit who walk not after the flesh but after the Holy spirit are sanctified by their actions of obedient faith in JESUS and are saints.That is a claim of a saint and disciple of Jesus. Are you?

We are disciples of the lord Jesus.
Nope . an ear tickling theology goes around saying nono its ok you just keep right on sinning don't you worry..A tall claim and 'ear tickling' theology!
Luke 14
26 "If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.
27 Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.
33 So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.
The Holy Spirit let me know a decade ago that the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus in Luke 16 is Covenantle, just like Revelation.By what wisdom or power do YOU minister today? is it by human wisdom, accrued knowledge? or is it imparted to you by the Holy Ghost?
1.Corinthians.2.4-5
and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
1.Corinthians.2.14.
The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God for they are folly to him and he is not able to understand them for they are spiritually discerned.
