I wanted to share a link to a great article I came across today.
I know there are still a lot of arguments going on in some circles on the validity of whether or not Apostles & Prophets are for the modern day church.
If you click on the link below and take the time to read through this article, you will probably be pretty surprised by the content.
I found it to be a very strong approach being that it was all backed by scripture as well as some stunning insight into the priority of the "Five Fold Ministry" and how many times the different ministries were mentioned in the New Testament. Enjoy...
Here is a little teaser:
• The word “apostle(s)” occurs 85 times in the New Testament.
• The word “prophet(s)” occurs over 150 times in the New Testament, about 20 of those occurrences referring distinctly to prophets in the Church Age.
• The word “teacher(s)” occurs 125 times in the New Testament.
How many times do you think the words "evangelist" and "pastor" are mentioned? Read the article and be prepared to be shocked!
