Seven Basic Bible Facts (6)!:

FACT NO. 7—That the COMMISSION the Church, the Body of Christ, is to work
under, is found in II Corinthians 5:14-21 and Ephesians 3:9. The Kingdom
commission of Matthew 28:19-20 and Mark 16:15-18 does not belong to
God’s Present Grace Purpose. The Message Of Reconciliation has been
committed to US, the Body of Christ. RESULTS:

1. The Christian would begin to perceive and grasp the deep things of God
(I Cor. 2:10-12).​

2. There would be a wonderful growth into spiritual maturity and adulthood
(Eph. 4:12-15).

3. He would become a faithful steward of the mysteries of God
(I Cor. 2:7; 4:1-2).​

4. He would possess the Biblical answer to Satan’s false cults like
Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, Christian Scientists, Unitarians,
Modernists, etc. They all borrow some aspects of Israel’s religion.

5. A mighty revival would take place if Christians would get back
to Pauline truth.​

My friend, if you are not saved, the Grace of God invites you to receive
The Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. You are a sinner and
need to be saved (Rom. 3:23).

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved...”
(Acts 16:31).

“...now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation”
(II Cor. 6:2).​

It is infinitely better to receive Him and spend eternity in Heaven
than to reject Him and spend eternity in the Lake of Fire.

John 17:18
As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

The apostles are Christ’s successors!
They have authority to send others as well, apostle means one who is sent!

Therefore the apostles have authority to send more apostles or successors!
Apostolic succession!

The nations still need to be taught, disciples still need to be baptized and the church the new covenant kingdom of christ still needs to be governed!

Hebrews 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Christ is an apostle, and has authority to send other apostles, the apostles also have this authority, so the apostles continue down thru the centuries as Christ promised! Matt 28:19-20
