This movement into a Post-Christian society has its roots in an era that is Christianity’s recognized religious starting point. Our spiritual identity was forged in the 20th century. Initiated in Acts and traced throughout history, the oneness of God and the infilling of the Holy Ghost (with the evidence of tongues, prophecies, special manifestations and visitations of the Holy Spirit) was showered from God into the hungry hearts of His people. In response to this move of the Spirit, churches began to form and take shape, with a new understanding of the Holy Spirit’s move.

About the Book
What you are holding in your hands is a tool for better understanding of The Fivefold Ministry. This is a delicate subject which shapes and changes the landscape of the church today. For the last fourteen years, my ministry has taken me to over forty countries. The issue of Fivefold Ministry is on the mind of many pastors and leaders. There is something overpowering about the words apostolic and prophetic that many pastors and leaders cannot apprehend and accept as part of what the Lord is doing in these last days. Fear of new things is always connected with a threat that we may relinquish something we held and protected so dearly. One of the greatest failures of the church is to be satisfied with the status quo, without considering the sovereign move of God’s Holy Spirit and His effort to complete the church for Christ’s coming. Before we accept or reject the ways of the Lord, we once again need to look into the Scriptures to get guidance and direction for our decision. I believe that the sound theology of this book will help those who are looking for real answers without compromising their convictions. This book is no written for casual readers, but for the students of the Word and leaders who desire to serve God without reservations. May the lord be honored by the publication and reading of this book. I pray that many be quickened in their desire to know the Lord and the ministry that he does in the church today.

Dr. Geroge I. Feller: “Dr Stefan Sos has prepared a thorough analysis of the five-fold ministry, in a strong biblically based and balanced fashion. It would be an excellent study book for the Bible College Course on Ecclesiology. Also, it is well worth studying in our contemporary charismatic church settings. The book considers the historical, grammatical, theological and critical evaluation of the five-fold ministry. I highly recommend this book.
Dr. James F. Alien: “This is a book that would be good for every place of the five fold ministry in the church today. Without a doubt they will face this topic somewhere in their ministry if they have not already. I believe Dr. Sos has given a very practical and balanced to the topic in relation.
