Ephesians 4:11-12
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
What is an apostle?
What is a prophet?
What is an evangelist?
What is a pastor?
What is a teacher?
Or maybe I should ask what kind of duties must a man perform to have these titles..
duties wouldnt be the word ,it would be abilities...
apostle is a ministry that the one called should be able to perform each other task that is named ,,paul was an apostle ,he taught ,evangelised and all ..not sure he ever just pasotred a church ,,but he was like today overseer ofmany thats pastoring alot at once.
prophet -guides ,instructs ,with a word from god to individuals or a group at once .can speak of future events ,...
evangelist -travels alot ,from place to place ,preaching the good news //..uplifting pastors,and churches setting them on fire for the work of the lord.
pastor is a overseer of the flock ,they are his resposibility ,,...not a ruler ,but a leader and guider ,councilor ,,janitor lol,,,,the most liked man or hated man in the church ,, its just according to whats going on at the time lol.must be a good example ,to the flock..must have alot of love.
someone is able to break down scripture so it can be understood by others,, a gifted way of explaining it ..
