Topic Suggestion/Request:
(should match post title)
Was the Great Commission in Matthew 28 issued to all Christians (related to the idea of POAB), or was it more of a directive to those in the Office of Public Ministry, such as the Apostles?
Reasoning:
(why should this be covered)
I am trying to have a better understanding of the duties of a believer, and of the pastoral office. I am curious how different readings of Ephesians 4:12 play into this, as older translations include a comma dividing a phrase that seems to indicate that certain leaders are given to do works of ministry, not that all saints are equipped for works of ministry.
