Which apostles were appointed the head of church?
No, Christ is the head of the true church, or body of believers. Ephesians 1:22, 4:15, 5:23, KJV. Whereas, some claim Peter was chosen by Christ to be the head, there were not two heads. In Matthew 16:16 Peter gave the confession: "Thou art the Christ (Messiah), the Son of the living God." Jesus had indicated that this revelation came to Peter from the Father in Heaven (v.17). By virtue of the different Greek genders of the nouns in verse 18, Jesus was saying that Peter was a little stone, but upon the Rock of the truth in Peter's God-given testimony, Christ Himself would build His church . Later in Acts 15, James, the Lord's half brother led the Jerusalem Council, although Peter was there. While Peter had initiated the witness to the Jews, the Samaritans and the Gentiles, as Christ had indicated that he would, Paul became the Apostle to the Gentiles, while Peter remained the Apostle to the Jews. Paul on one occasion rebuked Peter for wavering from the position of equal salvation for all believers. Their is no Biblical evidence that Peter was ever in Rome, nor sound historical evidence. The Scriptures clearly indicate that Peter went to Babylonia and that Paul ultimately went to Rome as a prisoner.
