I guess if one is always moving around, it begs a question why?
I see your point that not everyone has a position.
I still say that to be in one place is "better" both for the Church and for ones own personal growth.

I agree to a point. I think people who are still "babes in Christ" should be taught and mentored in one place. Analogy might be someone who goes through elementary, middle school, high school, college and then off into the world to make their own way. We all keep learning but we don't need the same level of "tending" through these stages.
The saints are called to minister. Can they be called to minister from place to place rather than stay in one place without being a "minister" part of 5 fold ministry?

I don't think so, I say that because of this, "who will they be accountable too?"
The ones I have seen "usually" have made shipwreck of both themselves, and the faith they bear!

Who are the 5-fold ministry accountable to? Can the saint be accountable to someone in the 5-fold ministry without being in th same place as the minister?

They should be accountable to other Elders/Ministers/Presbyters/DB.
They are accountable to their local Congregation, and ultimately to God.

I believe we are very much accountable to everyone as saints of God. But again can;t you be accountable with being there every week?
