If you feel a special call by God you may have realized you’ve received one of the 5-fold gifts from Ephesians 4 – Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teacher but which one? In my never-ending attempt to find ridiculous generalizations for these 5 here’s another.

yeah, sorry jp. i see where you’re going with #5 but i gotta side mirror sam on this one. i was hanging out with an actual “teacher”(SG) today and he was like “huh? i don’t even use a credit card” or something like that. 2-4 are solid. i hate white boards. may i suggest you make the following amendments for 2.0?

I am actually interested in this subject because I’ve taken a lot of spiritual gifts and personality tests. I wonder if there is a true correlation. I invite everyone to discuss this on my blog at davidreaves.com.
Teachers …er…. poor Young Life leaders have an unusual appreciation for 52 free Combo meals from Chick-fil-a, and will gladly camp out overnight in the cold rain to get them.
I’ll take “Pastors” for five-hundred:
Answer: “These folks have a fascination with the sound of their own voice.”
Any takers?
So two Jews were sitting in a rowboat and a black guy comes along…

i see…. while i like those you came up with, i think the potential can of worms in the comment section might be hilarious as well.
