AnswerThere is no clarity on this. Paul called himself an apostle, but Acts of the Apostles seems reluctant to use this term about Paul. Acts suggests that the twelve disciples became apostles at the Pentacost. The word comes from Greek, to mean a messenger.

Can a man call himself an apostle in the present time?

The word 'apostle' comes from the Greek for 'messenger', so it would be quite rational for someone to refer to him or herself as an apostle, especially in a religious context. However, it may be more difficult to be taken seriously in making that claim.More:Biblically, one of the qualifications to be an apostle of Christ, you must have been with him in person. Paul qualified when Christ appeared to him in the vision on the road to Damascus.So no one alive today would qualify to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, but might call themselves an apostle of someone else.


What does 2 Timothy first chapter and verse mean?

2Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, In this verse Paul introduces himself as an apostle of Jesus Christ. He had been commissioned to special service by the glorified Lord. This commission was not by men or through men, but directly through the will of God. Paul speaks of his apostleship as being according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus. God has made a promise that all who believe in Christ Jesus will receive eternal life. Paul's call to be an apostle was in harmony with this promise. In fact, if there had been no such promise, there would have been no need of an apostle like Paul.

Neither, John the baptist was a prophet. He was the cousin of Jesus.

He is indicated in the Bible as the forerunner of Jesus. See Matthew 3:1ff, Mark 1:1ff, Luke 1:ff, Luke 3:1ff, John 1:19ff for biblical references to John the baptist.
