Order in the Church

In Part I, the author guides the reader through a study of the scriptures and determines that the Universal Church is out of order since the Fivefold Ministry is not in place and the Gifts of the Spirit are not flowing in the local church as they should. The Offices of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, and Teacher have not received the attention that they should and have not been developed in the church. The Office of Pastor has been elevated to the extent that local churches have developed into "Pastoral Empires." In Part II, the author discusses the Gifts of the Spirit and gives examples of the gifts in operation in the Bible and in modern times. In Part III, the author discusses the Fivefold Ministry Gifts and outlines which Gifts of the Spirit typically operate in the various Ministry Offices.
