The Greek word for "each one" is hekastos. It is used in the N.T. to show the individuality of judgment: "everyone shall give account of himself to God" (Rom.14:12; cf. Matt.16:27; 25:15; Rom.2:6). In Acts 2:3, the Holy Spirit "sat upon each of them," indicating that this happened to each individual. Does it not appear, then, that the edification of the body involves a hekastatic principle? That is, the "ministry" is not given to one man, but to "each of you."
This does not mean, at every service each person must participate. But it does at least mean that the service at some point was open to those who had something from the Lord to contribute (cf. Appendix B). jon zens.. We answer to God one on one basis , pure relationship nor is it a lethargic experience. Or Greek lecture hall, they dialoged and participated...
The function of pastoral leaders is to serve as 'player-coaches' of the congregation, by equipping the believers for their various God-appointed ministries.... a player-coach... unselfishly attempts to develop and coordinate the abilities of others while he himself fights the battle with them, shoulder-to-shoulder (Sixteen Tests, p.31). The elders were servants not priests Nt era now,do they atone for others nor do they operate as mixed with both the convoluted forms derived from Constantine's agenda and others who supported his forms, Breaking the model requires a new view or the one that was be fore man managed to use it for gain sake. There I no such thing as one in place of another or my church the mediums are done away with in Christ, we are all under Christ...
