WHO IS GOD'S APOSTOLIC CHURCH PASSED ON TO:
WE ARE TOLD APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION IS BASED ON HAVING THE BELIEF AND TEACHING OF THE TRUTH THE APOSTLES TAUGHT
"Descent from Abraham was proved, not by name and lineage, but by likeness of character. So the apostolic succession rest nit upon the transmission of ecclesiastical authority, but upon spiritual relationship. A life actuated by the apostles' spirit, the belief and teaching of the truth they taught, this is the true evidence of apostolic succession. This is what constitutes men the successors of the first teachers of the gospel." Desire of Ages, Chap.51, pg. 467
