Bible Note: Hi Steve, I'd like to simply highlight a couple of places from chapter 4: Ephesians 4:11-13 (11) And indeed He gave some to be apostles; and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers; (12) with a view to the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ, (13) until we all may come to the unity of the faith and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, to a full-grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, He gave some to be apostles, prophets, etc, for the completing of the saints, building up of the body of Christ, UNTIL we all come to the full measure of the stature of Christ. This isn't that the apostles have a gift, they are the gift, given until we are completed. My point was that there seem to be different apostleships. Barnabas, for instance, is called an apostle, yet was not one of the 12. The apostles and prophets given then do not remain with us today, they remain with the LORD, but not here with us. Even if you say, well, this actually refers to their writings, that's not what it says, and even so, we don't have writings from all the apostles. Or all the prophets. Phillips daughters prophesied, but their prophecies were not recorded. How do you, for instance, understand Barnabas' apostleship? Love in Christ, Mark |
