Thanks Joe,

This makes sense to me. Could we say that Luther was the evangelist and Calvin along with the others were the pastors and teachers? (Ephesians 4:11)

Roms 3:22-24
Humm, I feel a little uneasy with "absolute" titles, but maybe generally speaking ..... Calvin was extremely evangelistic, sending missionaries in every direction. I would say that Calvin was a "more informed" teacher and pastor than Luther (as he took his flock further in the faith, et. al.), but Luther was still a good pastor and teacher (he spoke to the needs of his people, he had his own seminary, etc.). We also have to realize that they were both in different countries working against different situations (religion, politics, and social structure). I think BOTH men were highly ordained and used of God in special ways to BOTH fulfill the individual duties God had before them.
