Oh, do you mean the "succession" of ministers in the book of Acts, from Peter to Paul, is not irrefutable evidence for the concept of the "one unique minister of the age?"
What about all those messages on recovery church history which we heard about Luther ... Guyon ... Zinzendorf ... Darby ... Nee ... Lee ... We?
Not only did WL's distorted sense of church history attempt to discredit Barnabas, Apollos, and John-Mark, and all the rest of "the twelve," but also every servant of God throughout church history. I bought into his "succession" completely, that is until I read Brethren history and I learned the "dirty little secret" about the way JNDarby treated other godly men of God.
What a shock it was to me when I learned that Darby's brutal mistreatment of George Muller and BWNewton exactly paralleled WL's own mistreatment of John Ingalls and others, over all the same reasons!
