A person is used of God to move souls powerfully and with blessing, to gather them in and to bring them to Christ. There is an evangelist clearly. On the other hand, you may see one whose heart does not go out so much in putting the gospel before souls, but who enjoys and loves to make others enjoy the truth of God and to develop the character of God. Is not he a teacher?
Again, a pastor supposes not only knowledge of the truth but the power to urge it day by day on individuals: It involves a dealing with conscience and affection in a way that a teacher does not necessarily imply.
Again, there may be a person who cannot bring out truth powerfully, but he can exhort; he can deal with the conscience.
The Spirit of God works in the assembly. One man manifests ability to preach, another to teach, some to serve the Lord in private and others in public. What is the power of judging of these? The same Spirit of God. [12]
