    Study Notes

    Spiritual Maturity

    • The word "perfect" in the context of the text means spiritual maturity or full manhood.
    • The Church will always need ministry gifts like apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers as believers grow toward the full stature of Christ.
    • These ministry gifts are for the edifying of the Body of Christ.
    • Laymen can witness for God and further the growth of His Kingdom, but they cannot take the place of full-time ministers.

    The Call to Ministry

    • God alone sets men and women into ministry gift offices.
    • You do not enter any phase of the ministry just based on personal desire, someone's persuasion, or prophecy.
    • God equips and anoints those called to the ministry with the spiritual ability to stand in the office they're called to.

    Apostolic Ministry

    • There are four classes of apostolic ministry.
    • The fourth class includes those sent by the Holy Spirit to do a specific job or bring a specific emphasis along a biblical line of truth to the Body of Christ.
    • Smith Wigglesworth is presented as an example of a fourth-class apostle, sent to the Church with a message of faith.
    • It is important that the ministry is in demonstration and power, not just title.

    Errors Regarding Apostolic Call

    • People should not be put into ministry through the laying on of hands and prophecy, as only God can impart a spiritual gift or call someone to the ministry.
    • This teaching has seen several outbreaks in church history, including the Charismatic Movement.

    Characteristics of the Apostolic Call

    • An apostle is a preacher or teacher of the Word.
    • Apostles submit their ministries to others of proven reputation.
    • An apostle's fruit includes a submitted attitude toward other brethren.
    • An apostle blesses, builds up, and establishes works, not tearing them down with questionable teachings.
    • The message of an apostle is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
    • Paul's ministry serves as an example of a biblical apostolic ministry.

    Qualifications for the Apostolic Office

    • The qualifications of a bishop or overseer discussed in 1 Timothy 3 refer to the pastoral office.
