Also stated regarding the 'five-fold' ministry is: "Finally, some errors on this matter are worse than others. The loose use of the word "apostle" to refer to missionaries or church planters is not a serious error as long as this usage is sharply distinguished from the concept of an apostle who brings new doctrinal revelations and wields unquestionable authority. Nor is it a grievous error to interpret Ephesians 4:11 to refer to "apostles" in this sense of a church planter. The same would apply to those who hold that Ephesians 4:11 refers to the ongoing charismatic activity of prophesying. I do believe these interpretations are mistaken, but they are not in any way antagonistic to Christian faith. On the other hand, to interpret Ephesians 4:11 as a call for a restoration of the office of apostle of Christ is not only a mistake in exegesis, it opens the door to heresy. To claim that the church today needs visions and revelations through modern apostles and prophets of Christ is to deny the sufficiency of the Bible (2 Tim. 3:16) and to place the church at the mercy of false apostles, the likes of whom the apostle Paul warned us about in no uncertain terms (2 Cor. 11:13-15). The teachers of the "five-fold ministry," in seeking to "restore" a foundation which has never been moved, are actually laying a false foundation which will not support the building up of the body of Christ." http://www.equip.org, CRI, P.O.

Nolan: I, too, disagree with Hanegraaff. After all, the Bible is not sufficient and needs to be supplemented by visions and revelations through modern apostles and prophets. I see nothing wrong with placing the church at the mercy of false prophets. We need not take the warnings of scripture (e.g. 2 Cor 11:13-15) literally. As for Hanegraaff, he must be the biggest idiot in the business. Every time he is quoted on the Forum, someone eagerly comes forth to denounce him as a troublemaker and as one whose theology and research methods are faulty. Now that that's settled, would anyone like to buy a bridge? --JVH0212 "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." |

Dear JVH0212, I'd definitely be willing to buy a bridge that would extend from me to you! Over the past several months I have grown by leaps and bounds in my training in apologetics, and I have found Hank Hanegraaff to be an honorable fellow that one should not dismiss lightly! And you have assuredly played a role in this apologetics training, that is for sure my friend! I write this to reassure you that your contributions to the Forum do not go unnoticed and that they are so very much appreciated! At times, I refrain from writing posts like this since I run out of superlatives to describe your contributions. I would begin to sound a bit redundant in my praise! :) I write this knowing that we already have a strong and stable bridge between us, but with a hand extended towards charis and any other Forum member who disagrees with Hank Hanegraaff, so that we may have peace, find common ground, and base our arguments on the issues instead of the one quoted or the 'presenter' of those issues. With this post, I hope to begin the building of a 'bridge' between those who generally agree with the interpretations of Hank Hanegraaff and those who do not. I humbly submit this post to the Forum.
