What do you mean by "evangelist"? Do you mean the biblical kind of spiritually gifted person who evangelizes or the modern church to church revival/crusade evangelist? (I certainly hope you're not talking about the television variety!Originally posted by trumpet:
Can someone let me know the qualifications of an evangelist. Are they the same as a pastor,deacon? Please be sure to give KJV Bible to back up what you say.

I am assuming that you are speaking of the individuals referred to in Ephesians 4:11 (note the cross referrence to Acts 21:8 regarding Philip). If so, there is no divorce restriction specified in Scripture. But note that there are also no specific descriptions in Scripture as to the nature (or existance) of the "office".Originally posted by trumpet:

Evidently some men did the work of an evangelist 100% of the time (as some were apostles and some pastors). I can see ZERO resemblance of such to the "evangelists" that float around ifb-dom today.When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ
Really? Which ones? Just curious.Originally posted by jimslade:
Why not. Most TV evangelists are.
