Although Matthias is not listed by name he is numbered with the eleven, thus making him the TWELVTH APOSTLE as far as God is concerned but Paul is NOT listed as one of the TWELVE apostles: cf. Acts 1:26; 6:2; (*Note: the twelve are listed as complete BEFORE Paul's conversion, he is not listed with themor included in their number.) Paul even indicates this himself in 1 Corinthians 15:5. This is because while chosen by Christ, he did not fit ALL of the criteria listed by Peter in Acts 1:21-22.
In light of the above it is clear that Matthias's name, not Pauls will appear on one of the TWELVE foundation stones of the New Jerusalem (cf. Revelation 21:14)
While Paul was indeed an apostle (Romans 1:1; 1 Corinthians 1:1; 2 Corinthians 1:1; Galatians 1:1; Ephesians 1:1; Colossians 1:1; 1 Timothy 1:1; 2 Timothy 1:1; Titus 1:1; etc., etc., etc.), he was NOT one of the TWELVE Apostles.

Absolutely correct! And Matthias will be one who with the eleven sits on one of the twelve thrones when Christ comes in His glory, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
