Gregg also highlights the importance of verifying the claims of individuals who claim to be apostles and discusses how the endorsement of existing apostles was crucial in establishing Paul's authority as an apostle. Additionally, the apostolic authority of the New Testament is heavily dependent on the claim of apostleship made by the authors of the letters, especially Paul's.
