Why is the 5-fold ministry, as described in Scripture, so unpopular?

If there were only money power and prestige available in the order of Scripture--then it would become popular.

In fact, the counterfeits are popular.

The Five-Fold Ministry or 5-fold ministry has become a popular subject in some circles, although the major restoration of the revelation concerning this subject was unveiled, in Scripture, by the Spirit of God about the middle of the twentieth century.  Newer human interpretations of this Divine revelation have modified the Truth to allow a considerations for money, power, pleasure, and prestige.  The Biblical revelation concerning apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers doesn't leave much room for the fleshly considerations of money, power, pleasure-seeking, and prestige. It's not an exercise of intellectual stimulation or entertainment.

It should be noted that no one has fulfilled God's order perfectly at the time of this writing.  Feelings of superiority are out of place.  The ministry is in humility and service, not in human power or pride.  To the reader who senses, by the Spirit, that there are deeper depths and higher heights, never settle for less than what God wants to give you.  If the Spirit touches your conscience, let Him do so.  Keep on searching and you will find.  To everyone who keeps on knocking, the door will be opened.

If you seek God, you will find Him through His Son, Jesus.



Revelations 22:19 And if anyone takes away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which have been written in this Book.

John 10:35b the Scripture cannot be broken,

Human theology and reasoning is not necessarily correct, but the Bible is. The Bible can only be understood by revelation, and revelation is given by the Spirit of God. God does reveal in His own way. But we only know in part. If we think we know any thing, we do not know it as we ought. We are instructed, by God, to keep seeking Him. The Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth. The truth sets us free. Lies bind us. Whoever seeks Jesus does find Him. Jesus is the truth.
