I think a clue is in Acts 13 it says there were prophets and teachers at Antioch now if there were prophets and teachers everywhere then why is it noted here?

Good question. I think it safe to assume that the needed ministry was made available from assembly to assembly. JMO.

I think it was not a set way in any case. Some assemblies had prophets, some did not. The ones that did not would need them sent in. But we cannot make a rule either way and say they have to be in one assembly or they are never in one assembly.

COOP, what is it going to take to find peace in your life??

Actually I started a good look at the Five fold ministry doctrines.

But things into question.

One in particular that is UPC came and insulted me.

So getting back to the five fold ministry.................................


Do you have anything to add to Five Fold Ministry??????

Or Have you came to fuel the fire??

Act 14:14 [Which] when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard [of], they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

barnabas was an apostle.
