Ephesians 2:20 An apostle in the NT sense must have: 1) been with Christ from the beginning – Acts 1:21-22 seen the resurrected Christ – Acts 1:21-22 been appointed specifically by Christ – Acts 9:15 been accredited by miracles – II Corinthians 12:12

“Apostle” Peter Wagner 1930 - 2016

“saint” “Holy one” = morally pure; set apart All true believers are “set apart” ones
