The idea of immortal Apostles is something one would expect from the Joseph Smith/magic underwear crowd (See: The three Nephites) and should be left to fringe groups and cults who are not truly aligned with Christianity...

You are ignoring the fact that the Immortal Apostles are undeniably scriptural
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. -
Luke 9:27
Yes, Joseph Smith took many elements from the bible and worked them over and reused them in the Book of Mormon - but that doesnt mean that the bible lies.
The three Immortalo Nephites are no doubt a plagiat of the Immortal Apostles - so what ?
And to name another example : The unbeliever Alma, who was struck down temporarily by god and became a great prophet as a result is no doubt a plagiat of Saint Paul. Following your logic Saint Paul would have never existed
But lets not give a Baptist church reason to laugh about two Roman Catholic who debate the Book of Mormon in their forum. Instead work here with me, my coreligionist, to find out more about the Immortal Apostles
If you do that I will offer you some ministrants I tired of, just like joseph Smith used to offer Brigham Young those of his wifes he tired of. What do you say?
