Bible Note: Greetings charis! One of my best friends in college named Michael compiled a "Spiritual Gifts" test, and in his test he included the gift of Apostleship, fully believing that there could be Apostles for today. He based his reasoning on Romans 15:20 and defined the gift of Apostleship in this way: "The divine enablement to start new churches and oversee their development." As for questions to ask yourself if you'd like to know if you have this gift, he wrote: "1. Other people respect me as knowledgeable in spiritual matters. 2. I would be willing and excited to start a new church. 3. I am accepted as a spiritual leader in other parts of the world. 4. I would be excited to share the gospel and form new groups of Christians in areas where there aren't many churches." According to this test, if these 4 questions describe you pretty accurately, then it may be likely that you have this gift! And of course, you have to have the gift of Apostleship in order to qualify as an Apostle.. :) Just thought that I would add that. Blessings to you, Nolan |
