Because of my upbringing, the Five Fold Ministry was a fairly new concept. We had Reverend, Deacon, Deaconess...um yup that's about all. Oh we also had Pastor, and Minister.
Reverend was reserved for the ordained clergy while Minister suggested that you were not a Pastor, but called to preach.
I'm going to jump around...
Then, I learned of Bishops, Elders...etc. Their functions were different, depending on the organizational structure that was set up by their Presiding board (or whatever the called the governing body).
However, I don't see these roles as being the same-- as in the example you provided above-- Bishops are basically Apostles...etc.
