       Now, here the Apostle Paul adds some additional categories from the Romans 12 passage. First are the apostles, which I believe to be limited to the original apostles called by Jesus himself. That is, the Eleven original ones plus Matthias, which the first church chose to replace Judas. Some believe this choice by Peter’s leading was made in error, but I do not believe it was an error. We call Paul the Apostle Paul, for he called himself that, for he was one untimely born, and the last to be called by Christ. Anyway, back in the text, Paul also added evangelists here, for there are some people particularly gifted in the area of evangelism. That’s why some have far greater success in one-on-one evangelism versus others. Not everyone has the gift of evangelism, though we should all evangelize, and really we are evangelizing whether we know it or not.
