order to simplify things I will choose only three Scripture quotes. I am basing my comments on the assumption that we agree that the Bible is the Word of God. If we do, these three Scriptures should be enough to persuade any lingering doubters. The first is Ephesians 4:11. It reads, “And [Jesus at His ascension] gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.” Most of our churches today have comfortably recognized the offices of evangelist, pastor and teacher.
