[QUOTE="RestoreTheJoy, post: 73910552, member: 411383"] Scripture verse for that? Because this is entirely false. BELIEVERS are to preach the word, in season and out of season. Sure, they have to know the Word of God to do it, but that is bare minimum expectation for a believer in Jesus. The Holy Spirit fell on all the believers there at Pentecost, not just the 12, and they would ALL be His witnesses (evangelize) "but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." The command in Matthew to go into all the world and preach the gospel including “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” certainly includes the command to make disciples. When persecution arose against the Church in Acts, the regular believers scattered everywhere and they preached the Word of God: [URL='http://biblehub.com/acts/8-3.htm'][B]"3[/B][/URL]But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison. [URL='http://biblehub.com/acts/8-4.htm'][B]4[/B][/URL][B]Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word."[/B] In Ephesians 4, Paul states: [URL='http://biblehub.com/ephesians/4-11.htm'][B]11[/B][/URL]And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,[URL='http://biblehub.com/ephesians/4-12.htm'][B]12[/B][/URL]t[B]o equip the saints for the work of ministry,[/B] for building up the body of Christ. Those offices equip ALL BELIEVERS to do the work of the ministry, of which evangelism is a primary part. The 5 fold ministry is to prepare the BODY to do the work. They don't do all the work themselves. [/QUOTE]
