Acts 1:23-26 (KJV)
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, 
   who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which   
   knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of 
   these two thou hast chosen,
25 That he may take part of this ministry and     
   apostleship, from which Judas by transgression 
   fell, that he might go to his own place.
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot    
   fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with   
   the eleven apostles.

The Apostle that replaced Judas was elected, while 
Paul was appointed by Jesus, so we have had both.

By the way Bro. Raddatz, I have enjoyed reading 
some of the material on your Web Page.
