Apostolic Teaching: Who Stands Out?

I would agree wholeheartedly.

I'm serious about this thread because I do want to be a good teacher. The longer I live the more need I see for teaching.

Elder Jack Yonts, he's an EXCELLENT teacher
J.T. Pugh, I still kinda remember an astounding message "Seasons of Time"
Billy Cole, i recall him teaching in good depth at WI camps years ago
Tommy Craft, I liked hearing his stories growing up on a farm
Bro Grisham was kinda long-winded though, from what I remember
John Grant, from Madison WI is another solid teacher
probably numerous more, but all from oldest living generation....

good teachers are a fading bunch.... the Pentecostal movement has trained up generation after generation of preachers that share the Word with an expectation of an immediate, and visible, emotional response.... and if it's not there, than something must be wrong.... some also associate loud volume with being the same as being anointed too....

Steadfast, I share your love for Brother Grisham's teaching. Someone said he is long-winded, I say "who cares?"

Brother Littles' teaching (from UGST) captures my attention as well.

I know you said Apostolic teachers, but I love to hear Chuck Swindoll teach. Perry Stone is very good as well.

It is likely that there are people that I graduated with that still can't teach their way outta a wet paperbag.... imo, through the years I think that the ministry of a teacher has been discouraged and squelched.... it nearly seems like the place of a teacher has been completely relegated to a) the local pastor teaching the flock and/or b) academic in context via books, seminars, etc....

Dr. Dan Segraves is probaby one of Pentecosts greatest teachers...

I guess we could all run down a list of preachers that were great teachers.

JT Pugh is one of the best there ever was if you ask me.

but honestly I have long thought that there are many God called teachers that have never held a title of preacher on any level. They are none the less talented and anointed teachers.

My dad is the best teacher I ever heard. He never once preached a sermon or ever tried to mark himself as a minister on any level. But before dad started teaching new converts in the 1970's at the church back home, new converts were simply not sticking. after, retention was unbelievable.

I suspect that this is the norm in really good churches. I think we think the 5 fold ministry means preachers that are one or more of the 5.

I think there are a lot of men who meet the criteria for the "teacher" who are not preachers at all.
