[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3196121, member: 7900"] Actually, no he wasn't. Each of the apostles were charged with teaching and baptizing wherever they went. If I remember right, Peter was mostly working in the area of Jerusalem and Israel. Paul's ministry took him to the west, for which we can be thankful for the seeds he planted ended up with Christianity being spread to Europe, and thus, beyond to America and beyond. Thomas went to the area of India, which is where he died. I don't know the succession in time of when each of the apostles met their death, but I want to think that Peter was fairly early on with respect to some of the others. John is the only one that I think died of a natural death, but I could be wrong on that. If Jesus were to appoint Peter to be "chief administrator," then Christianity would have lost that leader fairly early. Also, the powers that the Holy Spirit gave the Apostles could be passed on to other people of the church, but no further than that. When those early "church fathers" with powers died, their powers ended with them. So, the "keys to Heaven and Hell" ended with the last of the apostles. [/QUOTE]
