Who does the Bible teach is Apostle to you & I ?

[sondring7]

It's a very controversial issue for some,there are those who claim only one is then others state they all apply today.
I believe that all the Apostles have teachings that we should take notice of but which one has the sole role to teach me how to enter the happy life eternal ?
Did Jesus pick a particular one ?
Was there agreement between all the Apostles as to who has that sole role ?
The Bible will answer that question with the verses you provide.
Any takers ?

That's easy
Acts 9:15 - Christ selected
Rom 11:13 - Paul confirmed
Rom 15:16 - As above
Gal 2:7-9 - they all agreed.

It is trust in God's forgiveness. Even a child can access this.
It is not how many scriptures one can pull out of the hat, it is not how well you understand theology, it is simple trust.

John 5:24
'Truly I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life'........Jesus

It must be that all the writers of the NT taught the same.
If this is not so,,,then our bibles are worthless.
Paul states that if we do not believe that Jesus is HE...we remain in our sins.

John 8:24
24“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

IF there is ever any doubt or question about any doctrine,,,
we should always go to the words of Jesus.

This is what Jesus said:

Matthew 7:21
21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

Every writer of the NT taught thea above.

Jesus gave the great commission to all of the Apostles...
not just to some.

Matthew 28:16-20
16But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.
17When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.
18And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

There are no apostles today in the sense that the New Testament uses that term. One of the qualifications for such an apostle was that he had to have seen the risen Christ. Nobody alive today has physically seen the risen Christ. Of course, some apostles wrote books of the New Testament. Those writings are for all. There is no hint in the Bible that only the epistles of Paul apply to non-Jews.

Can’t speak for you.
For me, Paul was given the Appointment to teach to Jews, Gentiles and kings.
I am a Gentile.

Paul, as with the other “Apostles”, teaching was select, and regarding, the News of the Gospel of Christ Jesus.

The background, for the history and lead in to …
Jesus, Christ, the Gospel …
was a familiar historical taught expectation for the Jews God to send a Messiah To and for Them.

Point…
The Jews historical God, was relatively news for the Gentiles.
And the Lord Jesus being the Jews sent Messiah was news for both groups.

Saul, Paul, was selected for the teacher to Both groups, as he being the most qualified.
His father a Gentile and Roman citizen.
His mother a Jew of the Tribe of Benjamin.
Himself a Pharisee and expert on Historical Jewish Commandments, Laws, Statutes and Precepts…

Kings, likely may have been more one on one… but Jews and Gentiles certainly could have and likely were a mixed audience, each knowing their own history and what was meant for them.
(Commands, Statutes, Laws, Precepts, Traditions…)

Not much different today…one preacher, one sermon, mixed audience of saved, unsaved, male, females, adults, children, husbands, wives…each individually knowing which parts apply to them.

Glory to God,
Taken

Ephesians 4:11-16

He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.​

Yes, that's the teachings of Christ through Paul.
Acts 9:15, Rom 11:13, Rom 15:16, Gal 2:7-9
According to Christ & the Apostles, who was to be Apostle to the Gentiles/Heathen ?

Paul...but then Paul, not referring to himself only, said "some apostles."

Everything points to Paul...but then Paul himself said "some", not referring only to himself. What does that tell you? Was he being modest, or unlike horseshoes, accurate?

My point & question is, what do you believe are the SAVING gospel verses that Paul & his apostles taught that applies to ScottA.
If you don't know then say so, if you do know then it will be simple & easy for you to list them.

We've been through this before (in the middle of something else not directly related). I'm not going to repeat it. You can go back and look it all up again if you want to--go for it.

The devils trust that Jesus died, was buried and resurrected. They were no doubt even present at those events.
