Subject: Apostles, Prophets? An Office for Today? |
Bible Note: According to Ephesians all the listed offices, or callings, are to equip the saints. Justme was the one who asked for a definition or description of the office of apostle. My response was pointing out that there is no definition specifically defining apostle any more than there is one assigned to pastor or evangelist. Following your train of thought I reviewed Ephesians 2-4 and 1 Corinthians 12-14 and came to this conclusion. Correct me if I am misunderstanding you. If apostles have ceased so have prophets, as both are the 'foundation'. So do you interpret 1 Corinthians 14:28-30 speaking of prophets only of the first church and when these died, the office went away? |
