How can you teach on evangelist and leave out Phillip, i contend the evangelist and a regular preacher are not the same, the work of an evangelist is showed by phillip, evangelism is reaching the lost and unchrurched period, and is noted by preaching outside church confines, in acts 8 the church was scaterred save for the apostles and they preached everywhere. people who can't preach outside the church are not evangdelitsts. also evangelists baptized, this combined with preaching to the lost(not converted or so-called christians, so called christian issues are handled by the overseers of the flock or local preachers, if they are constantly giving messages that deal with the flock, they are pastors given by God) is the work of an evangelist. Phillip was the only man called an evanglist in the bible. Paul did evangelistic work in preaching to people who were not saved. his talking of living off the gospel is has nothing to do with evangelism per se because he was speaking of also funds he received from churches he planted.Elders in this way can live off the gospel, count them worthy of double honr that oversee especially of them who labor in the word, and careful looking of that will point to taking care of them financially with the collected church offerings. we need to know what an evangelist that God places in the church is, this person looks to go to the lost instead of the lost coming to him. you must have people who preach who are called evangelist who don't really reach out to the lost. we have too many people especially women preachers growing up wanting to be evangelists who really don't prach the whole gospelw ith anytype of evident annointed skill, but they preach on other topics very well. they think that is an evangelist then we lose out on true evanglism.
