Against the claims of many modern critics, false teachers, religions, and cults, Paul was a genuine Apostle truly commissioned by the risen Lord Jesus Himself. We see this through his fulfillment of the New Testament’s Apostolic qualifications. We also see this through the testimony of the other Apostles, their disciples, and the early Church, as well as all the Scriptures from Old to New Testaments. We must be certain and firm on Pauline Apostolicity, as it has serious implications for the Christian life.
Acts 9:15-19 "But the Lord said to him, 'Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.' So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, 'Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.' And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized; and taking food, he was strengthened.”
