Evangelism, Prophetic Evangelism, and Apostolic Evangelism

[Joseph Gill]

I am "lost in the weeds" here trying to understand what recent posters have meant when they appended an adjective to the noun "evangelism." Other than when the evangelistic work is performed by an apostle or a prophet respectively, what is supposed to be the difference between both "apostolic evangelism" and "prophetic evangelism," and the time-tested, old-fashioned "evangelism"?

I agree, theses are people who are searching only for the fishes and the loaves. Evangelism plain and simple means to go out , or to preach /teach out side your church building setting. People are title and postion crazy or they seek something new. We must be so carefull in that we don't tweak/twist God's word, will and way. Example pastor and co-pastor,da,da,da, co-pastor is not biblical .[manmade]. I know that if you took the average Christaian minister and ask them to define . apostle,prophet,pastor,teacher,evangelist,deacon etc. That could'nt do it , so they add appended an adjective to the noun to seem more spiritual deep/enlightened

I don't know, Pastor, that the motivation is for their coining terms like "apostolic evangelism" or "prophetic evangelism" is to create new titles for themselves. I don't share that suspicion. But I agree with your definition of evangelism, and I can't see the value in distinguishing "apostolic" and "prophetic" variations of it.

[Archbishop Trevor 'Elihu' Greene]

This is not to create a new office for anyone, but simply to understand what angle of evangelism that they are coming from. If one doesn't recognize the five offices of Ephesians 4:11, then they wouldn't realize that all five see the Bible from a difference angle, and therefore minister in different ways.
