They’ve actually written a book so they can properly identify these new Apostles

An apostle is a Christian leader, gifted, taught, commissioned, and sent by God with the authority to establish the foundational government of the church within an assigned sphere of ministry by hearing what the Spirit is saying to the churches and by setting things in order accordingly for the growth and maturity of the church and for the extension of the kingdom of God.

God’s decision to make an individual an apostle must be recognized and affirmed by real people. If someone says, ‘God has called me to be an apostle,’ but no one else agrees, then I have to doubt whether that person has accurately heard from God.

They also list criteria to ID an apostle.
