Is the five-fold ministry still in operation today?

06-09-2010, 11:23 PM

I am asking because there are many today claiming to be Apostles, and Prophets of the lord. There seems to be scriptural backing for this.

Ephesians
4:11And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
4:12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

If this is true, and the lord still calls some to fulfill these offices, how can we tell if they are a True Christian or not? So far the only ministers I have seen that are worthy of these offices are located here at Landover baptist church.

Deuteronomy32:35 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
Jerimiah 13:14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
Numbers 32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
Leviticus24:14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
Ephesians5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

As I've stated before, the Bible gives us a test: Every tree is known by its fruit. You can eliminate the Roman institution right away, and you'll also be able to discern which "Bible-believing" "Christians" have been called by God to fill these offices and which are merely playing church to get your money.

This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.

Questions to ask liberal "Christians" ✞ Things that the Bible doesn't say ✞ Tolerance
