Download or read book Does the Church Still Need Apostles and Prophets written by Jim Thomas and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the Church Still Need Apostles and Prophets? is a book that examines the original New Testament design of the fivefold ministry of leadership in the church. It asks the question, Was the single pastorate the design of the Lord, or was it the result of our own choosing? This book intends to give the reader a look at the great foundation of the apostle and prophet in the scriptures and tackles the very difficult question of whether these giftings passed away with the first-generation church. This book examines in detail the scriptural ministries of the apostle and the prophet and why these giftings are just as valid today as they were in the first-century church. The total restoration of the plural team ministry that the book of Acts describes and the New Testament confirms will once again help the church to maintain its focus on discipleship and mission. After thirty years of functioning with fivefold leadership teams, the author shares this teaching and illustrates it with real-life examples of the transformation that happened in his own church.
Download or read book New Apostolic Reformation written by R. Douglas Geivett and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critique provides a framework for understanding and interpreting the widespread but little-known New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement. As the authors state in the preface: "We write this book with two major goals in mind. First, to give people an idea of the sheer size and reach of the NAR movement. And second, to systematize its key teachings and practices and evaluate them on the basis of Scripture and careful reasoning . . In our judgment, the NAR perspective crosses these boundaries [that is, certain broad parameters, revealed in Scripture and practiced in the historical orthodox church], and it does so in part because of flawed theology rooted in a flawed understanding of Scripture. We wish to warn readers about a possible confusion: Some critics have linked the NAR movement with mainstream Pentecostalism and charismatics. We do not do this. In fact, it is our contention that the NAR movement deviates from classical Pentecostal and charismatic teachings. This movement has emerged out of independent charismatic churches and, thus, has gained a foothold in many of those churches in varying degrees."

In scriptures God will paint, on the canvas of anointed Words, things about His Words teachings, concerning His Holy Apostles and Prophets by the Spirit. God's written Word has given us the Church, certain teachings for specific reasons. Should not the Church, continue to keep and hold up the banner, of sound doctrines, and teachings of Jesus Christ. God's Children are being robbed for a lack of knowledge and spiritual treason, done by man's traditions.

The blind shall remain blind and lead the blind. But the faithful shall receive their reward from God.

Listen to these verses of scripture that the Apostle Paul wrote, as an anointed vessel by the power of the Holy Ghost. Things concerning His knowledge of the mystery of the Gospel and how he was taught by Revelation. Then he goes on to teach, Gods way of teaching the Church the mystery of the Gospel through.

He explores the idea of a material world and presents a variety of created marvels that reveal the gospel in everyday life and fuel worship and joy in God--marvels like: Dust: the image of God Horns: the salvation of God Donkeys: the peace of God Water: the life of God Viruses: the problem of God Cities: the kingdom of God God of All Things will leave you with a deeper understanding of Scripture, the world you live in, and the God who made it all.
