Agreed, Dave. Worrying about the use of the term "apostle" in modern times  
is part of the popular notion of cessationism. It is as if the Holy Spirit  
ceased to work after John died at the end of the first century, and now  
all we have is our poor fallen intellects.

The greatest danger here is the NAR seeks to resurrect the error to which  
the Twelve clung until after the Ascension, that there must be a literal  
kingdom on the earth. It's nothing more than a political movement  
disguised as religion. Jesus struggled against that constantly during His  
ministry, with the disciples wondering when they were going to ride into  
Jerusalem and take over. It would seem Pilate was the only person to  
understand it when Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world." That's  
because this world is fallen, broken and not going to be fixed. It's going  
to be ended, our hope in Christ is He can't come back soon enough and shut  
this mess down, because until He does, it's only going to get worse.
