As a Layman Christian, God has given me the ministry of reconciliation to preach, teach and win souls. This qualifies me to be part of the 5-fold ministry.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Answer explanation

The ministry of reconciliation has been given to every Christian (to preach and win souls for whom Christ died). Every Christian is required to do these tasks in their sphere. Doing these effectively however does not mean you are called into ministry. God needs to have set you for ministry for you to be part of the 5-fold.

The Effective Layman Christian is the one that searches the Scriptures daily. Per Acts 17:11, he/she does this to...

• ...confirm the accuracy of the message preached.

• ...memorize the verses

• ...gain more understanding of the verses

• pass time when bored

The only difference between the Effective Layman Christian and the 5-fold is the call of God for ministry. The 5-fold are expected to live as ordinary Christians in their personal capacity.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Answer explanation

The 5-fold are called FOR the church. In their everyday lives, they need operate as ordinary Cristians to have an effective Christian life.

They might do a similar job as pastors in that they preach, but they don't have the same call as a Pastor.

A Bishop's office is one that can be desired.

A Pastor's office however cannot be desired. It is given by God.

The office of a Bishop falls under the Ministry of Helps per 1Corinthians 12:28.

• FALSE

They are preaching elders that assist the 5-fold. They are leaders in the church.

• FALSE. We need prophesy everyday so we can have direction as Christians.

We need them because Christ gave them to us. If we didn't need them, Christ would not have added them to be part of the 5-fold. If 1 is useless, all are useless.
