Bible Study of 2nd December, 2021

This was mainly an answer that Bro. Eli gave to a guest who wanted to know whether there's anomaly in the Bible concerning the gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers as recorded in Ephesians 4:11
"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers."

Bro. Eli stated emphatically that there are no anomalies in the word of God. People that claim to be apostles are false, as Bible even indicates there are false prophets.
Matthew 24:11
"Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many."

The original apostles have powers to heal all manner of sicknesses.
Matthew 10:1 -
"And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease."

This is unlike the present false ones today who do not have such powers. The present day apostles are even dying of sicknesses like COVID-19, including their members.

But Peter and others even had power to raise the dead.
Matthew 10:7-8 -
"And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. "

In the church today, there are evangelists, teachers, prophets and pastors but not true all. The real apostles have their names written in the foundation of the holy city - the new Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:14 -
"Now the wall of city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb."

You can see fake apostles in many places collecting money from people, and teaching wrong doctrines.

Outside the court of the holy city belongs the gentiles; and Paul and Barnabas, as the last apostles also belong there.
Revelation 11:2 -
"But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles... "

Matthias was chosen to replace Judas so as to complete the number of apostles for Israel.
Acts 1:26 -
"And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Mathias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles."
