You just excluded Paul as an apostle?

"They were eyewitnesses of Jesus' life, ministry, death, and resurrection."

Paul never walked with Jesus during the ministry of Jesus.

Paul was not an eyewitness of the life of Jesus, his death or resurrection.

Paul only saw Jesus after His resurrection and the last to do so.
Paul was an apostle. He was not an “apostle of the Lamb”.

When those who say apostles no longer exist by the examples of the NAR for instance, they forget that Satan copies the church with false examples of the real to draw people away from Christ. You'll see false apostles, prophets, teachers, etc. What you wont see are false priests, pharisees, etc. Satan will not have false versions of those who are already his because a kingdom divided against itself shall not stand.
He won't waste time faking a ministry that no longer exists, there's no point.
The false versions are a secondary witness that the apostles & prophets still exist.

The Twelve were sent to the nations, also, before the ascension.
There is a clear distinction in the assigned domain that the twelve apostles occupied
and the domain Paul and Barnabas received.

Galatians 2:7
But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised (Gentiles),
just as Peter had been to the circumcised (Jews).
