Answer #3

         An apostle could establish congregational procedures and methods. (1 Corinthians 4:17) He could issue commands and orders to traveling overseers and congregational members to better expedite important matters. (Acts 17:14, 15; 1 Corinthians 16:1) He could confer the authority to "command" upon other individuals. (1 Timothy 1:3; Titus 2:15) An apostle could also expel unruly individuals from the congregation. (1 Corinthians 5:5)
