Apostolic Succession is the uninterrupted transmission of spiritual authority from the Apostles through successive ministers to the present.\u00a0 A direct line of preachers continuously stretching back to the apostles. It is the claim that the current-day Workers come from a series of Workers in an unbroken chain, each having professed through another Worker, going back to the apostles.<\/p>\n
The concept of apostolic succession is not found in Scripture. No one has ever successfully traced the 2×2 Sect back to the New Testament primitive church\u2014because it is demonstrably NOT<\/em> of apostolic succession. When the truth became known about the 2×2 Sect’s original founding and history, they lost many members due to this misrepresentation.<\/p>\n Even the 2×2 author and historian Dr. Cornelius Jaenen, disclosed in his book (Apostles\u2019 Doctrine & Fellowship<\/em>, page 535) that he found no evidence of apostolic succession in his investigation of the church\u2019s history: “In our efforts to trace the continuity of primitive Christian ideals over the centuries, no unbroken successions or continuous activities of a particular identifiable group have been documented.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apostolic Succession is the uninterrupted transmission of spiritual authority from the Apostles through successive ministers to the present.\u00a0 A direct line of preachers continuously stretching […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-history"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/truth.circlescosites.com\/dictionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/truth.circlescosites.com\/dictionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/truth.circlescosites.com\/dictionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/truth.circlescosites.com\/dictionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/truth.circlescosites.com\/dictionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1674"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/truth.circlescosites.com\/dictionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1674\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1675,"href":"https:\/\/truth.circlescosites.com\/dictionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1674\/revisions\/1675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/truth.circlescosites.com\/dictionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/truth.circlescosites.com\/dictionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/truth.circlescosites.com\/dictionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
