Apostle can mean one of the group of 12 that was with Jesus (I mean including after Judas died and was replaced).
But its meaning (and we're not in the classical age now) also means a leader of the first Christian mission to a country/region. It's typically used to describe a prominent Christian missionary who converts a people. (not a person, a people)

Either way, I don't see how you just appoint someone an apostle in recognition of his ministry and spreading the gospel. If he was designated the leader of a successful missionary group to say... pagan tribes in Africa. Aye, I can understand that he is an apostle.

Aye, Ethel, you should have left it at 'when you do not know the whole issue from all aspects.' Because Joses has a point. So, Ethel, you are surely not saying that experience is one of the most important things we should trust in right?
