Apostle

HIGH: Established Alkitab usage retains Rasul (e.g. ‘Rasul Paulus’), even though rasul is also the specific Islamic category for a major prophet-messenger who receives new scripture (preeminently Muhammad, ‘Rasulullah’). This Language Package follows existing Malay Bible precedent rather than substituting a different word, but every use must be accompanied by explicit teaching that a New Testament apostle is a Spirit-authorized eyewitness to the risen Christ, not a scripture-bearing prophet in the Islamic sense.
