Ephesians 4:11-13 “So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”
The word “Evangelist” is only used 3 times in the scriptures. Let’s look at the standards of an overseer in the New Testament Church! Why would the role of an Evangelist be pushed more than a role of a Shepherd or Teacher in the body of Christ? If someone does not meet the requirements to be an overseer, do they have the Biblical right to still oversee a congregation? Are some teaching a made up role in order to side step the scriptures?
Notes For Evangelist, Shepherds, Teachers, Oh My!
