LW I was recently asked by someone about the appointment of Elders and Deacons. I know and understand the qualifications of these vocations. But their question was this, where does it state in the bible that the evangelist appoints these offices. Ya know what, I couldn't find a single verse. I saw examples of this practice (apostles and teachers appointing elders) throughout the new testament. I even had someone while doing research on this tell me that elders could appoint elders. I know learning of the Lord's work is a continual process, and if a man ever says he knows it all he is lost. Please email me with your contribution in my research. Sometimes the obvious is the most hidden. Thank you, May God bless all who work to diligently seek him.
