	Phillip is spelled with only one "l" in many references and Bibles. It should be acceptable.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Exactly my thought, springmom.

	peter is not the first apostle

	Matthias should be a bonus answer since he filled the place of Judas

	I concur with springmom as well. I used to work for a parish named St. Philip the Apostle........only 1 l.

	I'm surprised that Phillip is the least remembered - more people remember Thaddeus and Bartholomew than Phillip? It's one of my favorite boy's names.

	Rufus should be a bonus answer.

	@Jessica - I think a lot of people spell it Philip (with one "l") and don't get credit - like me and several other posters. I thought I had just taken the countries quiz too many times - "Philippines" is spelled with one "l", and I think that gave me a one-track mind.

	Nathaniel should be taken as an alternate to Batholomew. Thats the name we learned back in Bible class.

	@jason: Matthias, son of Deuteronomy of Gath, you have been found guilty by the elders of the town of uttering the name of our Lord, and so as a BLASPHEMER you are to be stoned to death. Look, I'd had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, "that piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah"

	jessbowen it is Bartholomew not Batholomew.

	Could you not accept Simon Peter? I think that's what I was taught at school (long ago as that was...)

	Lee:	May 10th, 2009 at 08:05 GMT	2 points
	I finally memorized these 12 by playing this game over and over.

	the only reason i missed thaddeus was because the translation i learned this out of spells it thaddaeus, what about alternatives? bah!

	Lee:	May 17th, 2009 at 07:14 GMT	2 points
	Half the fun is repeating the quiz, over time, until I not only know the answers, I know their spelling.

	Ichiban:	May 25th, 2009 at 08:23 GMT	0 points
	I also try to use nathaniel before remembering bartholomew and the only reason i remember bartholomew is cuz of the simpsons, also for some reason out of any of them I forget andrew mmost, I dont know why

	5/12. Definitely going to Hell.

	Technically they weren't apostles until after Christ's ascension. While he was still on earth, they were his disciples. I don't think that anyone considers Judas Escariot an apostle. Matthias should certainly be a bonus answer, as should Paul.

	Got all 12 - just! I nearly missed Phillip as my Dad is called Philip with one l so that is how I always spell it...

	cls121389:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 00:53 GMT	2 points
	Paul was an apostle, but not one of "The 12". Judas is definitely an acceptable answer. Matthias should be an acceptable answer. See Luke 6:13 where it says that Jesus called them apostles. This quiz suffers from a lack of acceptable alternative spellings and names. For example, Simon was his given name - Peter the surname. Also numbering them 1-12 as if Peter is always #1 and Andrew #4 etc is weak - put them in alphabetical order. Otherwise a great quiz.
