Ephesians 4:11-12 “He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”
This book on ministerial etiquette was written to help pastors of local churches and the other four ministry gifts work together in an honest, harmonious way. The Pastor is the one who is married to the local church, the other four ministry gifts, when sufficiently developed become trans-local ministers to the larger body of Christ. This book was written to give guidelines that will help prevent abuse of authority as well as offence and division between these five-fold ministers.
