(Comments by Joan Boney)
Shortly after I was born again in 1975, in the night while I was sleeping, I was transported into heaven. I was with God, and with Christ, and with the Holy Spirit.
See: 2 Cor. 12:1-4
(It was a spiritual experience. I saw no physical images.)
At that time, I was merged into the body of Jesus, made one with the Word of God, God and the Holy Spirit witnessing.
A few weeks after this, the exact same thing happened again.
Later I came to believe at this time I was placed by Jesus into the two ministry offices to which I am called: apostle and prophet

From heaven, Jesus sets up the ministries of the New Testament Church
Ephesians 4
11 And HE (Jesus) gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From WHOM the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Paul, called by Jesus from heaven to be
a New Testament church minister
After the crucifixion and resurrection into heaven, Jesus set up the New Testament church and HIS ministers on this present earth. Jesus spoke from heaven by HIS Holy Spirit through the following decades.
Paul is an example of one of those New Testament ministers to whom Jesus spoke after the resurrection after Jesus set up HIS New Covenant church on this earth.
From heaven, Jesus called HIS ministers:
* some apostles
* some prophets
* some evangelists
* some pastors
* some teachers
Acts 9 (Jesus calls Paul to be HIS minister on this earth)
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou ME?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord?
And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

For the next 3 years Jesus taught Paul to do the work of an apostle and teacher.
Galatians 1
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by HIS grace,
16 To reveal HIS Son in me, that I might preach HIM among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

In 1975, after I was born again and then twice taken into heaven in the night and twice merged into the body of Jesus, made one with the word of God, I was separated to God for the next 5 years as Jesus by the Holy Spirit taught me Bible, both Old and New Testaments.
I stayed at my apartment in Dallas and read the Bible and God taught me by the Holy Spirit.
John 16:13 Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.
John 15:16 Jesus says: Ye have not chosen ME, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in MY name, HE may give it you.

The New Covenant church was set up by Jesus from heaven. The ministers of Jesus are called and taught from heaven by the Holy Spirit of God. All the church has the Holy Spirit living in them to lead them and guide them and teach them. But some are called by Jesus as ministers for the church: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers.
The Holy Spirit is given to each person who is born again in the New Covenant church.
Hebrews 1:1-2 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by HIS Son, whom HE hath appointed heir of all things, by WHOM also HE made the worlds;
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by HIS Son, whom HE hath appointed heir of all things, by WHOM also HE made the worlds;

I Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
I Corinthians 12
28 And God hath set some in the church (to work in the church) , first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
The gifts only God can give reveal to the churches the ministers who are of God.
In the end times, the days before Jesus returns, there will be much deception in churches.
Jesus said this is one of the signs of the end of this present world.
Matthew 24:4-5 ... Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in MY name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
