In II Corinthians 12:12, Paul defended his apostleship by stating that the signs of an apostle were accomplished among the Corinthians with perseverance, in signs, wonders, and mighty deeds. These signs were visible fruits of his ministry, including preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God, healing people, casting out demons, converting individuals, raising congregations, and clarifying doctrine under Christ, as seen in Acts 15. Similarly, in considering Mr. Armstrong, the signs of an apostle are evident in his life's work. Through him, people were healed, demons were cast out, thousands were converted worldwide, and congregations were raised. Millions received true vision and hope through publications like the Plain Truth and Good News, as well as books, booklets, and letters inspired by God. God used him to restore true doctrines lost over centuries of deception and confusion. Like apostles who came later, out of due time, Mr. Armstrong fulfilled his office, ordained by the church—the body of which Christ is Head—and sent to fulfill a mission.
