This is a false teaching, I believe.
Which apostles are you talking about? The twelve apostles? The apostle Paul? [Where is the scriptural evidence?]
Why then does Paul, who is chosen as the apostle to the Gentiles, say 'And he [the Lord] gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
For the perfecting of the the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:' ?[Ephesians 4:11,12, and read on]
If miracles were to be done away with after the death of the apostles, then it's clear that miracles haven't been done away with because apostles still exist!
Apostles no longer exist. Paul pointed out that Christians have different talents. At some point gifts were or will be done away with 1 Cor 13:8-10. We teach that they ceased with the death of the apostles.
What convinces me? The apostles could cure any infirmity, that cannot be done today.
