Authenticating Apostolicity: Discerning True Apostles in an Age of Spiritual Ambition

The title "apostle" is everywhere today-but are all who claim it truly sent by God? Is there a such thing as modern day apostles? In a time when anyone can print a business card or build a platform, the Church faces a crisis of discernment. Authenticating Apostolicity is a timely, prophetic call to recover biblical clarity about the apostolic office and guard the Body of Christ against deception.

This book will help you answer pressing questions:

• What is an apostle according to Scripture, not culture?
• How can we recognize the true marks of an apostle?
• Why are so many claiming apostleship today-and how can we avoid false claims?
• What practical criteria can churches use to test apostolic claims?

Blending biblical depth, historical insight, and pastoral wisdom, Edwrin Sutton exposes the dangers of counterfeit apostleship while celebrating the power and necessity of true apostolic leadership. From the Book of Acts to the modern Church, he shows how apostles are God's pioneers-trailblazers graced to govern, plant, and establish the Kingdom in new territories.

If you've ever been confused about the flood of "apostolic" titles in the Church, this book will give you the discernment to tell the real from the fake. It equips pastors, leaders, and believers to uphold integrity, protect unity, and honor those genuinely called and sent by Christ.

Similar in spirit to the works of C. Peter Wagner, Rick Renner, and Ché Ahn, Authenticating Apostolicity is both theological and practical-a resource that belongs on the shelf of every serious student of Church leadership, revival, and the five-fold ministry.

Don't be misled by titles. Learn how to recognize authentic apostolic DNA, guard against deception, and stand with confidence on the foundations of Christ's true apostles.
