Does LSM Hold to Apostolic Succession?

That is why "Apostolic Succession" is a heresy and a minster of the age is not.

Folks, this is what is know as a Non Sequitur (Latin for "it does not follow").

Note how Cassidy casually segues from the valid fact of God raising up workers (who else would raise them up?) and co-opts that to imply validity of the idea of a "minister of the age." But, the fact that God raises up workers in no way validates the idea of a minister of the age! Cassidy all too often employs this kind of invalid argumentation.

Minister of the age is just not biblical. It is as much a man-made construct as apostolic succession.

The proof that the BBs and LSM hold to apostolic succession is how they got from "Brother Lee" to "Brother We" (the BBs). Do any of them have the credentials of an apostle? Hardly. Their leading credential is that they worked with and were approved by Lee. THAT is the essense of succession.
