No, Bishop Daniel Bostic was not part of the original 12 bishops of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC). The original bishops were appointed during the church's early formation in the early 20th century. Bishop Bostic later became a prominent leader within COGIC, but his ministry and leadership role developed after the establishment of the original bishops.
No COGIC clergy including Bishops earn a Salary unless they are an employee of the International Church (which is an Incorporated business) or a local church (which are independently incorporated) . If they are employees then specific rules apply with regard to tax with holdings. Most monies received are called Honorariums, and are not subject to the same strict tax rules. However, it is expected for COGIC clergy to individually report monies received for services rendered to the IRS. Please keep in mind, COGIC clergy are not paid for doing ministerial work, an Honorarium is not considered mandatory or expected. The General Board of the COGIC along with the Presiding Bishop, General Supervisor and Elected-Officers each may receive a specific Honorarium set at the discretion of the General Assembly. All information is made public to those ordained clergy and specifically chosen lay members participating in the General Assembly.

Cogic, stands for Church of God in Christ. It is the largest pentecostal denomination, holding over 6.5 million members.
The forms of worship between the Apostolic and COGIC are similar. The Apostolics believe in baptism in the name of Jesus only (not Father, Son, Holy Ghost like COGIC), and believe the evidence of infilling of the Holy Ghost is only by speaking in tongues (different than COGIC).

You will find it in the COGIC Official Manual under the Dress Code for the Clergy - When in doubt contact the State Adjutant or the Jurisdictional Prelate.

I believe you are asking the ranks that someone can go, because everyone in the COGIC is not a pastor. Men can be Deacons, Ministers, Elders (Pastors) and then Bishops. Women can be Missionaries, Mothers and Evangelist. It depends on your anointing and God utterance to your pastoral head.
There are more than 200 ecclesiastical jurisdictions (dioceses) in the Church of God in Christ (COGIC). There are more than 170 domestic jurisdictions within the United States and at least 35 foreign jurisdictions. In addition to being located in every state in the Union, COGIC churches are found in more than 57 countries around the world. Each jurisdiction is under the direct administration of a bishop. Most jurisdictions are further divided into districts which are comprised of local COGIC congregations. There are more than 15,000 COGIC congregations around the world.
