My strong objection was to your equating the BIBLICAL function of equipping the saints with spoon-feeding.
My apologies, I went back and read what I wrote, and it did seem to imply that. Please accept my clarification that I did not mean that all equipping is spoon-feeding. I do think that it can get to that place though. I see a lot of talking in the church and not alot of doing.

Do I have all the answers? No, and I certainly don't mean to imply that I do. As for what I am doing, I am doing all that I can do. Trying to listen to God and minister when he asks me to minister.

The Purpose is different from mans ways.

Five fold ministry?

Has man created another doctrine by using Gods scripture?

Where in this verse does it give rank and order?

And where does it teach men receive any kind of calling to such.

Who today is an Apostle?

Who is the Apostle of UPC or your Church.

Are there Five seats on the platform for Five ministers?

And who then is the Head or leader among-st them?

Coop,

You are making the transition from the Scripturally ignorant to the utterly ridiculous.

No I am not Coon.

Who are the men of the Five fold ministry at your Church Coon?

Why do Pastors became the leader of a Church?

Where is the rank and order of the five fold ministry Coon?

Utterly ridiculous???

Who determined that a Pastor is a recipient of tithes and called a man of God and not the other four????

Yes!!! It's ridiculous to this ignoramus.

The Scripture never says that every local assembly must have all five in residence.

But I know from experience that you are not even moderately open to receiving anything, so I am not going to get into a long go round with you.

You start off with so many false assumptions and fallacies that it would take several posts just to untangle them, and then you wouldn't admit your error.

So go on down your merry road.

It because you know I make a valid point.

The Scripture never says that every local assembly must have only one Pastor in residence.

Pastor?
