| Should laymen preach the word on the street?
Since one has to be called both externally (by man) and internally (by God), and licensed, ordained and seminary trained to preach the gospel does this mean a lay person should not be allowed to do street preaching?
I listen to "Way of the Master Radio" everyday on Sirius satellite and they are always pushing people to do this and I began to wonder if according to the strict reformed and Presbyterian model, is a laymen allowed to do this?
If one is not called to preach or teach or be an elder or deacon what can the lowly layperson do for the church?

They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. 17They say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, ‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, ‘No disaster shall come upon you." |
