No. There aren’t modern apostles.
Below you will find a 14-minute collage of 3 clips. Speaking are Justin Peters, Paul Washer, and Gabe Hughes of WWUTT. In different ways, all three men explain from the Bible that modern Apostles don’t exist today. The Bible does talk about ‘apostle’, lower case ‘a’, which means “sent”. Anyone who is “sent” is technically an apostle, as in church planter, evangelist, missionary, etc. But the office of Apostle, capital ‘A’, as described in the Bible, is closed to newcomers. When Apostle John died in 90AD, the final Apostle died, closing that office with it.
Below is a graphic from the video below that, by Justin Peters outlining the requirements to be an Apostle.

Below is the 14-minute video by Peters, Washer, Hughes explaining why no Apostles exist today.
Here is the 90-second WWUTT on Apostles by itself, if you are out of time
Elizabeth,
I believe this is one of the more important issues in Christianity today. When I was a kid, it was only a few whacko’s who believed in modern-day apostles. Now, it seems much of Christendom thinks there is no with problem with people calling themselves or being called “apostles”. I think it is a lack of biblical upbringing. I teach children’s church and I’m always reminding the kids that “there are no more of these (apostles) today!” I have dear friends who either believe in modern apostles or don’t even think or care about this issue. We just agree to disagree because I don’t believe it is a salvation issue. (I may be wrong here.) What do you think?

I agree, it’s an important issue. I’m not sure it’s a salvation issue either, but it could be a fatal flaw in a person’s theology, leading to other false teachings, which ends up being a salvation issue. The issue is pretty clear, the standards for apostle-ship are laid out in the Bible (as seen in the screen shot I posted) so if a person will ignore or rebut THAT, they have deeper issues that need to be addressed!

I agree, Elizabeth! Please pray for me as I have a return of breast cancer that is now in my lungs. I won’t go into the long saga but I’ve only known about this a week and two days–although I felt there was something wrong with my lungs since January. It’s take that long to figure it out and it’s been a crazy week for us here.
