This document discusses the qualifications, roles, and functions of apostles. It explains that apostles are first in rank in the church and must exemplify discipline and authority. Their main roles are to establish order, plant and pioneer churches, govern churches and regions, and rear spiritual sons and daughters. The document also provides background on the Apostles' Creed and the early apostles' doctrine that focused on teaching about Christ. It concludes with defining "apostolic" as a denomination that traces back to 1904 Welsh revivals and some differences in beliefs around baptism, dress code, and ordaining women.
