FUN FACT

The Bible never speaks of "the spiritual gift of evangelism." 

It only speaks of the spiritual office of the evangelist (Eph 4:11).

EVERY BELIEVER IN CHRIST HAS THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION!


Evangelist- "proclaimer of the gospel" -BDAG, 403.

"a bringer of good tidings... This name is given in the N. T. to those heralds of salvation through Christ who are not apostles." -Thayer, 257.


The Main Issue 

"Apostles" = Authority and NT Canon 

"Prophets" = Authority and Inerrancy

"Evangelists" = Authority and Ability
