So who gets the authority? Do we "protest-ants" have to wrestle with the "Greeks and Romans" for it.

Mark 1:6 And John was clothed/endedumenoV <1746> (5765) hairs/tricaV <2359> of camel,,and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
Reve 9:8 and they had hairs/ tricaV as hairs/tricaV of women, and the teeth of them were as of lions,
Transferrable...
Yep.
It is also clear the tranfer was limited:
21: Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22: Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23: And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24: And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25: That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26: And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
It is clear that transfer was limited to eyewitnesses of His resurrection.
Does being a minister or elder in a non-Greek/Roman church count.The authority follows a line of succession from Bishop to Bishop down through time by the laying on of hands of the Bishops. The power is with God.
Act 1:20-26
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take. Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all [men], shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Forgive me...
That depends. Did the "End of the Age" ever occur?Then the very next set of Bishops were foneys?
Titus? Clemet?
You say the authority came to an end... Where is that stated in scripture?
I see no such limitation.
Forgive me...

Not only did I forgive you, I corrected you, too!
There is no one Bishop in charge, Christ is in charge and the Chruch is a concliar body.
Forgive me...
Yikes! Maybe they been convening in the Pope's name...Jesus does not convene with his Bishops...
So who gets the authority? Do we "protest-ants" have to wrestle with the "Greeks and Romans" for it.
I will take the winner of these 2Art thou also a protestant? Search, and look: for out of Protestanism ariseth no prophet.
Jesus does not convene with his Bishops and so he is not here to be an authorityover these Bishops and that is why Jesus gave Peter the Keys.
Just as the Steward in Isaiah 22 was the master of the palace when there was no King there so is Peter (and his successors) the Master here on earth for the Kingdom.
Shalom
