Title: The gift of pastors, teachers, (speaking gifts) Apostle/ Evangelism
Same: same gifts, different functions. Pastor: the same as bishop and elder, and is translated (Sheppard= Poimen (Greek) Acts. 28). (Overseers = episkopos (Greek) Acts. 20:28) (Elder= presbuteros (Greek) Presbyterian 1 Peter 5:1-2) take care of the flock. (Elder: maturity= Psalms 23 Sheppard evading flock. 1 Peter 5:2) The pastor’s responsibility is to feed the flock, equip the people, and build up the church by teaching the word. (Ephesians 24:12) logos: the written word, phema: the spoken word. Christians are starting to get out of their calling. Being a pastor is a god given gift John 10:11, 1 Peters 5:4. What the world needs is pastors who can teach, lead, and guide Romans 12:7, 1 Corinthians 12:28-29, and Ephesians 4:11. This is something that i never really thought about or took the the time to consider!
