Default Re: New Testament Ministry

The New Testament ministry would the ministry of grace, salvation, and reconciliation. Someone can add a lot of other things if they want. But it is not something peculiar. It is the ministry of the covenant that came with Christ.

Any other definition is a false narrowing of the "NT ministry" for the purpose of being special. If you are ministering Christ, salvation, justice (not American justice), righteousness, then it is New Testament. If you are selectively saying that only some small part is THE NEW TESTAMENT MINISTRY then you are simply sectarian.

In short, I see it as a generic, and a made-up term. But the very fact that someone coined the phrase was probably for the purpose of saying it is something else.
