We believe in apostles.

 Article of faith # 6 states, “We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.”

Some apostle duties are given to men called the seventy.

In Luke 10, Christ called the first seventy of the church. He called them to first go out and meet with the people and preach the word of god. He then commanded them to heal the sick.

The Quorums have the apostolic duty to travel around the world, be missionaries, and serve those in the locations they are over. Just like Christ ordained his original seventy with power to overcome Satan’s temptations, the quorums now have that same power.
