The real church of JESUS CHRIST operates off the gifts of GOD, not the office of apostle, prophet, teacher, pastor, and evangelist.
Because if you have a title without the revelation knowledge of GOD, the wisdom of GOD, the gift of faith, the gift of healings, the working of miracles, the gift of prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers kinds of tongues or the interpretation of tongues, then your title is worthless without the gifts of GOD.
Five-fold ministry……………lol
Brother and sisters, there are many deceived religious leaders talking about a fivefold ministry, but the bible speaks nothing about a fivefold ministry.
They are just speaking about religious things they heard from other deceived religious fanatics.
But if they had revelation knowledge of God’s word in CHRIST JESUS, and spiritual understanding of GOD’S word, then they would know the bible speaks of 8 different gifts which the church operates in besides the office of Apostle, Prophet, Teacher, Pastor, and Evangelist.
For the real church of JESUS CHRIST operates off the gifts of God, not the worthless titles of apostle, prophet, teacher, pastor, and Evangelist.
For if you do not possess the gifts of the word of GOD, the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healings, the working of miracles, the spirit of prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers kinds of tongues, or the interpretation of tongues, by the same spirit.
Then your title without the gifts of GOD is worthless, and unprofitable to the body of CHRIST, and the kingdom of GOD.
(1 Corinthians 12:4-11) Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these work that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
Brothers and sisters, there is supposed to come a time in every real believers life where they begin to know JESUS for themselves, they begin to have a real personal relationship with JESUS for themselves, and JESUS becomes their only true pastor!
But many of your false religious leaders use this verse in Ephesians to promote the false teaching they teach called THE FIVE-FOLD MINISTRY, as if there is another ministry besides the ministry of JESUS CHRIST!
Brothers and sisters, there is no such thing as the FIVE-FOLD ministry in the body of CHRIST, there is just one ministry, and that is the ministry of JESUS CHRIST, and if you raise up another ministry within the ministry of JESUS CHRIST, then you are promoting a false doctrine, and teaching a false doctrine, that’s not the real doctrine of JESUS CHRIST!
Brothers and sisters, this word in Ephesians says, GOD gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; it does not say anything about men giving themselves, men raising themselves up, and men going to religious schools to be raised up by other religious men, IT SAYS GOD GAVE!~
Brothers and sisters, GOD gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the son of GOD, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of CHRIST: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive you.
(Ephesians 4:11-15) And GOD gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the son of GOD, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of CHRIST: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive you; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even CHRIST JESUS:
Brothers and sisters, GOD’S ultimate purpose for giving the body of CHRIST pastors, prophets, evangelists, apostles, and teachers, is for the whole body of CHRIST to become fully mature: until we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of GOD, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and from, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive you.
