What is the Difference between apostle and disciples?
Disciples are learners or pupils and apostles are sent on behalf of another.Additional information:The Hebrew word for 'disciple' (limmudh) refers to a person who is learning, being taught, or trained. A related word (malmadh) means a "goad", a long sharp stick used to train cattle. (Judges 3:31;Hosea 10:11.) In Greek the word for disciple, "mathetes", denotes a person who directs his mind to something.(Luke 6:13) .'Apostle' (apostellei), on the other hand, means 'a sent-forth one'. Jesus chose twelve specific people out of his group of disciples and called them 'apostles' that they might continue with him and that he might send them out to preach..."(Mark 3:13-14)(Matthew 10:1-42; Luke 8:1) These twelve were STILL 'disciples', (Jesus' pupils), (Mathew 11:1; 20:17; John 20:2) , but they were consistently called "apostles" because, though ALL Christ's disciples were to preach about God's Kingdom(Luke 10:1-12, Matthew 28:19+20), the APOSTLES took the lead in the work Jesus directed. (Matthew 11:1). Because people are given these different gifts and responsibilities, God's organization is well structured and effective(Ephesians 4:11-12)(Matthew 24:14).
Why is the book of Acts called The Acts of the Apostles?
There are two schools of thought on this. The first is that an "Apostle" is somebody that personally saw Jesus after the resurrection, and was then a witness to that fact. This school of thought claims that there are no more apostles, other than the 12 + Paul. Because you are asking this question, I assume you are from the first school of the thought.The second school of thought is that an apostle is what the word literally means, one sent forth with a message. In this case, they were sent forth with the gospel message. That is why in Matthew 10:1-7, in verse 1, Jesus called his 12 disciples(followers) to himself, and then sent them away as his 12 apostles (sent messengers) in verse 2. Barnabus was a sent messenger (Apostle) to spread the gospel along with Paul.There is a lot more to say on this subject, please let me know if you need more elaboration.
Where did Jesus ordain the apostles priests?
Jesus never ordained any apostle as a priest in his life , and there were no churches then . The first church was stared by Paul. This preceding answer does not correctly answer the question that is being asked. During my time in prayer and meditation this morning I discovered in Mark 3 beginning at verse 13-19 that Jesus went up into a mountain and from there He called whom He desired and the Word said they came unto Him. Verse 14 says, "And He ordained twelve..." These twelve were the disciples that followed Him. And it gives four specific reasons why He ordained them: 1) that they should be with Him 2) to send them forth to preach 3) to have power to heal sicknessess 4) to cast out devils ordain: to put in order, appoint. To invent officially (as by the laying on of hands) with ministerial or priestly authority. To establish or order by appointment, decree, or law.
What was the command that was given to the apostles for them to do among the believers?
One thought:As prophesied, Jesus preached to people about God's Kingdom (Isaiah 61:1+2/Psalm 40:9/Matthew 4:23/Matthew 11:1/Luke 4:43), and he passed this instruction on to his apostles and disciples. At Matthew 28:19+20 Jesus said to his followers: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them...teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."(NIV) So preaching about God's Kingdom and teaching what Jesus' taught was(and IS) the responsibility of the apostles, as well as all Christ's followers(Luke 9:60/Matthew 24:14)...the 'sent forth' ones(Romans 10:14+15)who were to be the 'light of the nations' (Acts 13:47/Matthew 13:10).
When was the sacrament of Holy Orders instituted?
If you are asking this question in regards to the priesthood I would say that Jesus Christ being the first priest instituted the priesthood at the Last Supper when he uttered the words "Do this in memory of me". He was instructing His disciples to go forth into the world and repeat the consecration of the bread and wine transforming them into the Body and Blood of our Lord at every Mass.

Why are the twelve apostles called the twelve apostles?
Apostle literally means, one sent forth with a message. Jesus' 12 disciples, in Matthew 10 were sent forth by Jesus as apostles carrying the message of Jesus. For quite awhile they were the only apostles carrying this message, as the church was just beginning. Note that Jesus himself was also called an apostle, in Hebrews 3. He was "sent forth" by God, with a message and purpose.
