[apostolee]

What is the five fold ministry and their functions? Honest question, kinda relates to my question of ones role in the body of Christ and figuring out where you find your own role.

the 5 fold is made up of

apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers

EPHESIANS 4:11-13 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Vs.12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Vs.13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

[Sam]

According to Dale Yerton in his book Foundation Truth, copyright 1984, page 87
and Lee Stoneking in his book Five-Fold Ministry and Spiritual Insights, copyright 2003, page 25:

Apostles govern
Prophets guide
Evangelists gather
Pastors guard
Teachers ground
