<p>Pastor Sweet, after hearing Rev. Todd's response to my last blog, I find myself agreeing that something must be done. Join us. Help us do something about it. You don't look like a man who's "talk only" to me. Help us formulate a plan and perform every word of it for the benefit of the church and the welfare of the kingdom of our Christ. Talk is cheap. Put up or shut up. If you do indeed support Todd's assessment of the BC, and deem him courageous for his words, then gear up. Let's get in the…</p>

You don't look like a man who's "talk only" to me. Help us formulate a plan and perform every word of it for the benefit of the church and the welfare of the kingdom of our Christ. Talk is cheap. Put up or shut up. If you do indeed support Todd's assessment of the BC, and deem him courageous for his words, then gear up. Let's get in the battle. I'm in. If you two are serious, and are not just a couple of talkers belching out words that have no substance, sign me up. Recruit me now. My sword is yours. Lets get to it. No excuses! Lets stop eating so much. Start fasting and praying, seeking God for answers, get a plan and perform it. Join us. I hope to hear from Pastor Todd very soon. A response from you will be equally appreciated. Long has it been that I have sought for men of your caliber, who are dedicated to the work. Lets get busy.</p>

<p>Pastor Melvin King: If one is black and finds some type of problem in the black church and points it out it is not racists nor is it shallow to question the on going problems with our community. The fact that Rev Todd is black and want to see the black church become all that God has called the church to is a sign of courage and I support him is the questions of the theology and practice of the black church. </p>

<p>This one is easy. I'm not sure which one you are claiming, "Prophet" or "Apostle"? The last Apostle was John and he died on the Isle of Patmos (Rev 22). Which Apostles came after Him, I forget. Don't forget, to qualify as an Apostle you have to meet the qualifications of ACTS 2.One writer writes, <span> "</span><a class="lbsBibleRef" href="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ephesians%202.20" target="_blank">Ephesians 2:20</a><span> informs us that the church is "built on the foundation of the…</span></p>
<p>This one is easy. I'm not sure which one you are claiming, "Prophet" or "Apostle"? The last Apostle was John and he died on the Isle of Patmos (Rev 22). Which Apostles came after Him, I forget. Don't forget, to qualify as an Apostle you have to meet the qualifications of ACTS 2.One writer writes, <span> "</span><a href="http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ephesians%202.20" class="lbsBibleRef" target="_blank">Ephesians 2:20</a><span> informs us that the church is "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone." If the apostles and prophets were the foundation of the church, are we still building the foundation?" </span></p>
<p>The Scripture is clear the ministry of Prophets and Apostles was to reveal the new revelation of God. The Apostles and Prophets spoke directly the revealed will of God. In other words God spoke directly into the ear of the Prophet and Apostle and They spoke directly to the intended audience. Now that the Bible is complete and the faith has been once for all given to the saints is there need for Prophets and Apostles. Another Question would be, "is God giving new revelation today to His people?</p>
<p><span>One writer writes, ."... as a call for a restoration of the office of apostle of Christ is not only a mistake in exegesis, it opens the door to heresy. To claim that the church today needs visions and revelations through modern apostles and prophets of Christ is to deny the sufficiency of the Bible (</span><a href="http://www.apologeticsindex.org/f09.html">2 Tim. 3:16</a><span> </span><img src="http://www.apologeticsindex.org/graphics/pop.gif" width="7" height="6" border="0" alt="javascript popup window" vspace="4"/><span> ) and to place the church at the mercy of false apostles, the likes of whom the apostle Paul warned us about in no uncertain terms (</span><a href="http://www.apologeticsindex.org/f09.html">2 Cor. 11:13-15</a><span> </span><img src="http://www.apologeticsindex.org/graphics/pop.gif" width="7" height="6" border="0" alt="javascript popup window" vspace="4"/><span> ). </span><br/><span>The teachers of the "five-fold ministry," in seeking to "restore" a foundation which has never been moved, are actually laying a false foundation which will not support the building up of the body of Christ. </span></p>
