Well, to be fair, he didn't unambiguously state it, and he certainyl did nto say that he has not since seen him, but he did say, as was noted earlier inthe thread, that the testimony and the basis for it that he had before becmoing an apostle, was sufficient to be an apostle. I thought this was a pretty straightforward point.

1 Ne 3:31, Luke 16:31 illustrate this concept, as does the remarkable change in the apostles post-Pentecost. I remember a related doctrine taught by Elder Faust, speaking of his short Patriarchal Blessing (3/4 of a page). Said he: "it has been completely adequate and perfect for me." From none of this can one draw the conclusion, IMO, that an apostle does not receive a Messianic visitation; only that such a visitation does not supplant the special witness borne of the Spirit.
