Now we expect Faithfulness in leadership, why not in saints?
Faithfulness is first to God, then to the Church (his body), then of course to the lost who we are all called to Minister unto.

In Paul's example in Corithians there are a few that speak (prophecy). Is there only one preacher in a local body? Does it have to be a preacher to prophecy?
Romans 14:
How is it then, brethren?
when ye come together,
every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
1Cr 14:27 If any man speak in an [unknown] tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most [by] three, and [that] by course; and let one interpret.
1Cr 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
1Cr 14:29
Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
1Cr 14:30 If [any thing] be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
1Cr 14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
1Cr 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
1Cr 14:33 For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
It's ALL good!!!
