Brother Frank,
 
I agree with you that the apostles ministry has been corrupted by many using it to promote ideas, doctrines or self, nevertheless it does not make God's gift to the church untrue.
 
There are also teachers, pastors and evangelists that have made a mockery of these ministries yet it does not invalidate that truth that God has set such offices in the church.
 
There were false prophets in the day of Jeremiah did that make Jeremiah's ministry false? In fact Jeremiah was one of a very, very few that were indeed speaking the truth all the rest were speaking lies.
 
Does that mean the ministry of the prophet should have no longer existed thus making Jeremiah's ministry invalid? No.
 
The bible tells us that there will be false teachers (2 Peter 2:1), false pastors (John 10:11-12), false evangelists (Gal. 1:9), false prophets (1 John 4:1) and false apostles (Rev. 2:2). Should we therefore ignore that which God has set in the church because the devil tries to corrupt that which God has established? No.
 
God has established the ministries for the equipping and perfecting of the church...and until that takes place the church needs all the ministries.
 
The true ministries.
 
There are true apostles, men who build up the church at the risk of their own lives. Who fast and pray often that the church would be fully equipped to do the work of Christ. Who humble themselves not seeking glory, fame or wealth but rather support themselves by the work of their hands and distribute to the saints out of their own pockets what they themselves have lacked.
 
These are the true apostles and as Jim Bramlett said they are the ones that don't use the title but truly fulfill the call.
 
There is a remnant. They are few not many, they are weak in themselves and not strong, they may be slow of speech and nothing special to look upon...but they are of God.
 
Bless you brother Frank,
 
John Johnson
