Be patient therefore, bretheren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient, stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

The word "apostle" in Greek signifies "one sent on a mission". Concerning the Apostles of Jesus this initially referred to the 12 apostles who were in Jesus's inner circle.
There was a time when Jesus sent out 70 of his disciples which by definition of an apostle being "one who is sent on a mission" also qualified as apostles.
However, all who Jesus sent out on a mission were first disciples. Thus the only apparent difference between a disciple who was an apostle and one who was not is the factor of being specifically sent by Jesus on a mission.
Hence, false apostles are those who claim to have been sent by Jesus when, in truth, He sent them not...they are then false embassadors and purveyors of poison/false doctrine.
