Bible Question: Are the offices of Apostles and Prophets still needed today? |
Bible Answer: Now we are the body of Christ, and members in particular. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, and after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, government, diversities of tongues. Are all apostles?are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? There is no indication here that these offices have ceased. Please not that apostles, prophets and teachers are in the same verse. If apostles ceased, did the calling of teacher as well? Also notice that miracles and gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues are also included in the list.... God bless |
