I’m still chewing on it myself, but a brother asked me a while back what I thought and apostle does. I said one of the main things is minister sound doctrine. This is true, but I thought I’d build on it a little more.
So, What can an apostle offer for the church?
This is not an absolute list, but the following is a start.
- Sound doctrine: What is sound doctrine? Exactly. Rom. 6:17, Phil. 1:7, Eph. 2:20
- Is sound doctrine important? Is it even significant?
- What is sound doctrine?
- So, what is sound doctrine again?
- Sound Doctrine Part 3
- Sound doctrine remains
- Through them the power of God is manifested. 1 Cor. 4:19-21, 2 Cor. 12:12.
- This should be commonplace and normalcy in the modern day church if Jesus hasn’t changed.
- They reveal the glory of Christ. 2 Cor. 8:23
- They diffuse grace unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, Eph. 4:13.
- They reveal a supernatural divine pattern to the church, 1 Cor. 11:1, Heb. 8:5.
- They establish churches and church government, order based on sound doctrine and revelation.
- They can operate in all gifts and offices of the five-fold ministry, Thumb blog.
An evangelist, pastor or teacher cannot necessarily fully operate in 6 out of the 7 things above. Why? They have not been given the grace of an apostle or prophet. So, do modern-day apostles and prophets exist? Should they?
