Este estilo de vida en las iglesias ha producido cristianos pasivos, dependientes, en ese ciclo de consumismo. Nada mejor que activarlos en los Grupos Familiares.

I would say that the pastors/teachers need to do this in a little more on-going way, since apostles are often trans-local and evangelists often focus beyond the local church. That said, I agree that all 5 roles are to result in equipping the saints.

Great article, not to say awesome, but with all due respect, it’s the responsibility of all of the ministries (the list on verse 11) to equip the saints, not only pastors. I think that sometimes we have to get our minds off from the pastor’s mind and enter into a full five ministry mind, recognizing each roll in the church. But the responsibility to equip the saints is for all 5 ministries.
Blessings and thanks for a chance to express myself about it.

We’ve made discipleship to mean that a new believer needs to learn how to consistently attend church, read their Bible and pray everyday, tithe, serve somewhere and invite a friend to church. While I agree with all of those attributes I have stated with my leaders that it is not a comprehensive view of discipleship. The journey of discipleship should cause us to eventually reproduce more disciples. This is where small group ministry becomes a powerful vehicle for small group leaders to live out the Great Commission.

As you, I believe God has chose the house / small group environment for a purpose–to mobilize his saints to be the church!

I would also add that the priesthood of believers, in a classic sense, tends to emphasize certain equipping gifts over other gifts (pastoring and teaching) at the expense of other gifts (apostle, prophet and evangelist). In a missional paradigm, no need should go unnoticed if the equipping gifts are operating (Ephesians 4:11-12).

You nailed it! There is no better way to live out the Great Commission than to ignore what our church culture has said over the decades and begin to meet the discipleship imperative our Lord has given us than in the relationships forged in the house church. Your article lifts up that point as well as nails it!

Keep up the good work. Couldn’t sit on the sidelines any longer. Had to bless you for the good work you are doing on behalf of the Kingdom!
