Some of us still recognize the apostles as the authority and the word they gave. Others ""moved on"" exactly like Paul warned in Acts 20.
>For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
The higher authority is the word of God and His church, namely the literal Apostles, not any grievous usurpers, teaching what they ought not for filthy lucres sake.
Ephesians 2:19-20
<Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
<And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Galatians 1:9
>As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
