Maranatha!

   I would like to send a response to all parties that have asked me
about "Apostle". 
 
   Scripture: I Corinthians 12:28, Ephesians 4:11

   Please read I Cor.12:28.  Ephs.4:11-And he gave some, apostles;
and some, prophets, and some, evangelists; and some pastors and
teachers; vs.12-For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of
the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

   Within the work of the ministry, perfecting saints and edifying
the body of Christ I can be an apostle. I am an ordained minister
in the United Christian Church & Ministerial Association in
Cleveland, Tenn. When in trinitarianism, I ministered in the
Church of God.  About being an apostle. First of all I will define
Apostle according to Strong's Concordance.  652-(apostolos) a
delegate; spec. an ambassador of the Gospel; officially a commission-
er of Christ("apostle")(with miraculous powers):-apostle,messenger,
he that is sent.

delegate-a representative; of Christ I am.
ambassador of the Gospel-a messenger (usually sent to a foreign
country); a messenger of the Gospel in this pilgrim land, I am
commisioner of Christ with miraculous power- a commission is some-
thing entrusted to get done; a commisioner is one holding a
commission. Jesus has entrusted me with His Word to perfect the 
saints (cause to grow to maturity), work of the ministry and
edifying the body of Christ with miraculous power. Bros. & Sis.,
I have been endued with power from on high. Signs follow my 
believing experience with Jesus. I am not saying anything to
promote myself or to exalt myself. Never would I. But, I have to
testify of Jesus and what he has done through obedience to Him.
I have been a pastor,assistant pastor; evangelized, taught and
prophecied. I will continue to do these things as the Lord will.
As many of you, I fill the office of Apostle. (Don't like saying
I). Jesus has allowed many miracles to take place in the work of
the ministry that he has placed me in. People healed from many
incurable diseases. Some called out of comas. Things have happened 
instantaneously, (deep cuts of the flesh suddenly closed up, steam
burns instantly dissappeared, knots surprisingly vanish.......
many things haved happened for the glory of God and the edifying
of his saints.
  Hopefully, your questions have been answered. I have tried to
be as abased and humble as I can.    
                                    Sincerely,
                                    Jim Cape
