That's like saying "a person cannot be an accomplice to murder and be an apostle" Paul would fail. If Christians were not put to death, the point still holds because he says "I am the least of apostles because I persecuted the saints"

You can't deny Christ and be an apostle: Peter

I am trying to use only Biblical examples but Augustine was recently brought up in a post who fornicated before salvation but after conversion was used to continue to change the Western world with the gospel.
