"Apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, evangelists, these offices God sets in the Church. They’re all in operation, or should be. We cannot bypass one and say there’s teachers without saying evangelists. We cannot say there’s evangelists without saying there is apostles. We cannot say there’s apostles without admitting there’s prophets. All of them are for the perfecting of the Body of Christ." ~ Rev. William Marrion Branham (59-0707)

"First is apostles, prophet, teachers, evangelists, pastors. They’re God’s foreordination. By predestination, by foreknowledge He saw it, placed it in the Church for every age." ~ Rev. William Marrion Branham (57-1215)
