It is made up of spiritual people. It constitutes a spiritual temple. Its members do not comprise the wise, the mighty and the noble but the unlearned, the weak and the ordinary. These are as vital to the church today as to the believers of the first century. The charismatic nature of the church is most immediately obvious in connection with its office-bearers.
Every ecclesiastical functionary is first and foremost a spiritually gifted man.
This is perfectly clear even with regard to the Old Testament church. The position in the New Testament is the same. The other offices are similarly conceived. They were not related to natural ability or to professional training but to the endowments of the Spirit. The teacher had to be 'apt to teach'.
