In modern times, it is generally not considered appropriate to refer to someone as an apostle unless they are specifically recognized as such within a religious context, such as in certain Christian denominations. The term "apostle" traditionally refers to the original twelve disciples of Jesus Christ and those who were directly commissioned by him.

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.
