These are
gifts (a present to the laborer) not the five fold
ministry of Jesus. These gifts are to assist in the six
fold ministry.
Ephesians
4:11
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and
some, evangelists; and some, pastors and
teachers;
These are the six fold ministries of the Gospel
Matthew 25:35-44
[35] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was
thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye
took me in: [36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was
sick,
and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
[37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty,
and gave thee drink? [38] When saw we thee a stranger,
and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? [39] Or
when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
[40] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily
I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
[41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels: [42] For I was an
hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave me no drink: [43] I was a stranger, and ye took me
not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in
prison, and ye visited me not. [44] Then shall they also
answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred,
or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in
prison, and did not minister unto thee? |
