Why do Pentecostals use Catholic titles?

History and Etymology for "archbishop."

Middle English, from Old English arcebiscop, from Late Latin archiepiscopus, from Late Greek archiepiskopos, from archi- + episkopos bishop (Miriam Webster. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/archbishop).

"chief" (see archon) + episkopos"bishop," literally "overseer" 

1 Timothy 3:2 - A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 

An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,- (New American Standard Version (1995).

A minister then must be a man of irreproachable character, true to his one wife, temperate, sober-minded, well-behaved, hospitable to strangers, and with a gift for teaching; (Weymouth Bible).

Did the word "bishop" and "archbishop" come from Catholic Church? It is both Latin and Catholic in origin. remember it's not included in the five fold ministry of (Ephesians 4;11), the ministries which God gave to the church and is it a catholic definition for "elder" or "overseer?' I think so. Here's my thought. Why do we use catholic terms to describe ministers when at the same time we deny the catholic doctrine of the trinity, which is also catholic. Isn't mixture an abomination? Just a though!

Think too of the development of the words "laity" and "ministry". the laity were considered the unlearned and ignorant those who were not educated enough to make a "profession" out fo the ministry. so we have a division between the professions of one believer and the profession of another However in the New Testament all who were disciples were "ministers". The word "minister" was a reference to those who had a ministry, which we allhace a ministry of rciciliation, a spiritual gift, the ability to edify exhort and encourage. Its only when the church catholicised itself did it begin to designate the upper calls ( those who were professionals) and those who were laity.

Peter and John (Acts 4;13) labelled "ignorant" and "unlearned," were apostles of the church that actually taught the world, the gospel, yet they were called "laity. again from the word "lake" meaning amusement and implying those who do such a thing "on the side" (as in layaway or the easy life or leisure. Not so they were more than amused with the God man and his truth intact they gave their life for the faith once delivered.

It was the Catholic church that token the title "priest" to refer to those who exercised authority over others. where in scriptures declare we are all priests unto God. Makes me thing why do we run to have others lay hands on us in every service and pout blessings over us? Serious, do we not know out position in Christ! Let those who love the pre-emInance get off their high horse and serve without titles. TITLES DONT GIVE YOU PRIVILEDGE titles magnify the flesh and lifts a mans ego. Isn't it time we renounce mixture and Exalated Jesus!

Your servant
Paul.

The Art of Preaching (2)

Write it read it and then preach it.
Good preaching comes form clear thinking and sound reading.
The best readers are the best preachers. All preachers would be good readers. By this Mean having an ability not only to read but to read as if one speaks. the practice of audible reading helps us to articulate our speech and bring clarity to our speech. Good reading helps us to understand words and express them intelligently thoughtfully and constructively. Words paint a picture, yes, that's true. Preaching is an art, how we say it is as important as what we say. That's the art of preaching.
When you read read thoughtfully, read to understand not merely to get through a book. The same principle will help you speak so that you are understood. may can preach good but are not always understood or followed as some would say and this is because they have mastered the art of talking but never mastered that of communication. So emphasise words, emphasise key words, underline them then read these sentences or your message a few times over until the truth is conveyed from your writing. This will reveal the value of a written message. Again if you can write it you can bring clarity to the subject and objectivity to the object.  Write it read it and then preach it.

The Art of Preaching (1)

Pacing your Preaching.
Preaching is an art and a skill. It is inspirational as wells educational. eventful as well as poetic.
Timing is important. It may not matter news you're on radio or TV. The allocated time allows you to say the essential things and leave the rest for the next show. It allows you to say what is necessary which in turn makes a message more memorable and specific. Too much content can confuse the listener as can too many points for too many stories. Know what your points are, enforce them and stop. Timing is important.
Set your pace, speak naturally, speak easily, imagine yourself having a conversation with a friend, Memorise your points, this will help train you memory. If folks are listening to learn the you may need to slow down. if folks are listening out of general interest then you can use a quicker pace.
To make a good presentation, practice reading aloud. yes when you read don't read it with your mind read it aloud. this allows you to pronounce every syllable distinctly and develop a natural conversational pace and volume. this then helps us to hear outlives as we would hear others.
If your pitch is high start off low. a naturally high pitched voice tends to get higher as one progresses in the sentence. practice the pitch and pace and you will be more interesting to the hearer and have more confidence as a public speaker.
