WRONG!
For one, you took my quote out of context. For another, I already said that just because one is an elder doesn't make him a preacher, prophet, apostle, or anything else other than an elder. And just because one is a preacher, prophet, or apostle doesn't make him an elder.
Timothy wasn't considered an elder because he was a preacher. Cornelius was an elder, but not a preacher in any sense of the word.
I have heard 13 yr old preachers. They were not elders just because they were preachers.
Edited to say, I should use smileys, but I'm too tired.
