His idea is false. Can you imagine the Elders who Paul ordained rising up and telling him now he had to be subject to them? Or the Elders telling the Prophets what they could or could not prophesy?
They are to work together as led by the Spirit. Each has his place. Our biggest problem today is simply finding true ministry period. I would be thrilled to find true Elders and teachers much less an Apostle or Prophet.
That does not mean I dont believe in them I do. Im just saying 33 years of experience among Charismatics and Pentecostals has yielded no Apostle so far. If a Prophet is judged by the strict Old Testament guideline of never being wrong neither has my experience brought me to a Prophet.
Im sure their out there and pray always that they come to light for the sake of the body of Christ. Its almost amusing that a Pastor is already staking out his claim as the "greatest among the brethren".
