FIVEFOLD FOUNDA ION MINISTRIES

Most churches are governed and function differently from what our Holy Bible example portrays. Many

and particularly the "Full Gospel, Pentecostal, or Charismatic," churches whether independent or

denominational, are getting familiar with the term "Fivefold Ministry." Few genuinely understand the full

scope of what this term should involve. Most limit this term to mean that today, along with the normally

accepted evangelists and pastors, we also have legitimate apostle, prophet, and teacher ministry callings.

This truth must ultimately include the expectation of the church body ministry.

​

The five callings are given to mature the church for their ministry, in order to be edified by “every joint supplies” (Eph. 4:12-16).

The existence of the five ministry callings has not been discerned, understood, and neglected. The

damage and loss to Kingdom building is severe due to this ignored truth. We must study and discern the

reasons for this. The functioning of ministries within the church, including "church body" ministry is rarely

comparable to what we read about in the New Testament portrayal of church and “body” ministry.

This book "Fivefold Apostle Church Building," is written with the specific purpose of addressing this

much needed Bible truth. Our Lord Jesus Christ gave and continually gives His desired five differing

ministry callings. These should be discerned, function, and flow together in building Christ’s church.

​

"Reformation," believers like Calvin, Luther, Wesley and others initiated what we esteem as a past

church reformation. Fivefold ministry believers are those who see and pursue to correct what is still

lacking. We must correct all error to establish Christ’s desired church. This strongly involves a lack of

knowledge and implementation of same, as to receiving and embracing Christ’s ministry callings and

desired government. Our Lord gave five differing callings to mankind for the entire church age. Fivefold

ministry reformation is a pursuit to bring correction to what scripturally should be in ministry.

​

When this reformation truth pursuit is complete, we will have churches that look like and identifies with

what the book of Acts and the Bible New Testament church and ministry portray. This book is written to

understand how a scriptural church ministry and interrelationships are to function. This reformation truth

cannot be accomplished without a correct doctrine and application of the truth about a separate and

experiential “baptism of the Holy Spirit,” resulting in the manifestation of gifts of the Spirit.

​

The broad array of topics involved to bring understanding must include:

 How do we discern the genuine "call of God" to a Christ appointed ministry?

 Theological evidence of the existence of all of the five Christ given "gift" ministries today.

 Believing and receiving of the scriptural experience of “the baptism in the Holy Spirit."

 How to identify the unique five ministry callings of Ephesians 4:8,11.

 Why evangelical "born again" churches including Pentecostal, lack this understanding.

 Eldership and "Fivefold" ministry, a holy scriptural multiple ministry.

 Eldership, their responsibility, accountability, and authority.
