for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry. "

1. He was numbered with us - He was one of the twelve. He was fully accepted as one of the apostles.

2. He is in the lists of the original 12 apostles in Luke 6:13-16 and Matthew 10:2-4.

3. He was a part of the ministry - Judas went out on limited commission. He traveled with the other apostles. Don't try to deny it. He was one of the apostles. Some who teach the doctrine of "once saved, always saved" have a problem with Judas. So they try to say he was never "really" an apostle.
