1 | Prerequisite-infallibility? | 1 Cor 12:27 | glory777 | 12575 | ||
I'm sorry, but I think when we say apostles are a thing of the past, it sounds too much like the gifts of the Holy Spirit are a thing of the past (which I had heard growing up and still hear). There is still a need for apostles, if not a greater need now, as there are pastors, evangelists, etc. Why did they need to be appointed by the apostles of that time and maybe they were and weren't mentioned. I am sure many pastors were and weren't mentioned. There are many unreached people groups that need people with a strong capability of extending the work of the church. They don't have to see Jesus physically - Jesus lives in them and they have the Holy Spirit guiding them and His Word teaching and directing them. There is a need for prophets today, and I believe God has appointed them - the church still needs to exhorted, corrected, wooed. But you are right, it had better be in agreement with what scripture says. Peace- Debbie |

Debbie, Where do the apostles fit in today? Is it a office or spiritual gift? If the latter, how doe one know they have the gift? Can the unreached people be reached by missionaries? |

Steve- How does one know they have the gift of being a pastor or evangelist? I believe there are people who are apostles who are not called as such (sounds awfully religious and old-time)but they have a burning for bringing the gospel to all people, plus have high degree of organizational skills and a greater sensitivity to what the Lord is telling them to do. I think there have been people in so called "Christianized" societies (USA) who have been apostles. DL Moody could possibly have qualified as one. I don't know that much about church history, but I am sure if you looked inot the lives of great Christian leaders, you will find some that would qualify. Your sister in Christ Debbie |
