^ Yes, that's why I pointed out vv.7-8 "the stewardship" entrusted to Paul: "nor to give heed to myths and endless genealogies, which bring speculations rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith." 1Tim1:4
Lk16:1-18 says that others [before Paul's time] were going to be "put out of the stewardship"... "for thou mayest no longer steward"... and "my lord taketh away my stewardship" (etc).
Pertains to having a body of truth to convey, and Paul said in 1Cor15:1-4 just what that [his assigned task (of msg) to convey] covers (among other passages like Eph3, Rom16:25-26, and this [in same context as 2:2] 2Tim2:7-8<---which is why I specifically pointed this one out [the content, i.e. the stewardship!])

We see God in the OT complain and as much as He complained then, it was a prophesy which is much more applicable in our times:
Jer 23:21
I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.
Jeremiah 14:14
"The prophets are prophesying lies in My name," the LORD replied. "I did not send them or appoint them or speak to them.
Jeremiah 23:32
"Indeed," declares the LORD, "I am against those who prophesy false dreams they tell to lead My people astray with their reckless lies. It was not I who sent or commanded them, and they are of no benefit at all to these people," declares the LORD.
2 Tim 1:10And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel, 11to which I was appointed a preacher, apostle, and teacher.
The effects of self appointment are there to be seen; divisions is churches and thousands of antagonizing doctrines.
