I thought all protestant churches thought that - that's why they "protested" against that one big church - because they thought it had gone astray from Christ's original teachings.

The bible predicts an apostacy, in the latter days.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and is lifted up above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God.
The mormons and others use that verse to justify their own group's existence .... failing to realize that their existence is the precise FULFILLMENT of that biblical passage ... and the very event that will eventually pave the way for the false religion of the antichrist.

Mormons ARE an apostacy! They have rejected the Church founded by God and replaced it with a polytheistic religion of human origin. That's what apostacy is.

The Bible does!
2 Thessalonians 2: 3Let not any one deceive you in any manner, because it will not be unless the apostasy have first come, and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition; (Darby)
There is quite a bit about it. This was addressed by Jesus himself in the parable about the wheat and the tares.

Do you mean do other religions believe their leader were called by God to lead, the definition of an apostle? Yes plenty. Do they call them apostles? No.
