I have only given you the word of God. Disregard it at your peril.
How you got Junia is an apostle from this is just plain sloppy reading of the text. Again in 1 Cor 1 you take leave of reading the text and create a meaning that suits your purpose at the expense of what is simply written.
I do not know who your pastor happens to be but you are not credit to their teaching of doctrine. Truth to you apparently means that which agrees with what you want the text to say.

NASB Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
NIV Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.
NRSV Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives who were in prison with me; they are prominent among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.
WYC Greet well Andronicus and Junia, my cousins, and mine even-prisoners, which be noble among the apostles, and which were before me in Christ.
YLT salute Andronicus and Junias, my kindred, and my fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.
