Apostles Today?

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, reviews how Jesus appointed the original twelve apostles and then explores the differences between disciples and apostles. He points out how the word “apostle” was used in the early Jewish, Greek, and Roman culture. The characteristics of apostles as outlined in the Scripture are reviewed. Dr. Hall then turns his attention to the question of whether there are contemporary apostles. The view that once the canonization of Scripture was complete that the gifts provided to the apostles ceased, called cessationism, is reviewed and compared to the view that these gifts did not cease, called continuationism, Dr. Hall outlines the implications of this debate for today’s churches. Dr. Hall concludes this podcast finding it difficult to view anything in the Scripture to support a dogmatic conclusion that there are no modern-day Apostle’s.
