(D) Apostle
Technically speaking, the first offices held by
General Authorities in this dispensation were those given 6 April 1830 to
“Joseph Smith, Jun., who was called of God, and ordained an apostle of Jesus
Christ, to be the first elder of this church; and to Oliver Cowdery, who was
also called of God, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to be the second elder of this
church.” As “first elder” the Prophet functioned as president of the Church for
nearly three years before the Lord directed the formal organization of the
First Presidency.
