The phrase, man of God, is mentioned twice in the NT : 1 Tim. 6:11, 2 Tim. 3:17. It is mentioned 71 times in the OT.
If God’s measure for a man is that he should be a man of God; or for a woman, a woman of God, then what happens when they don’t live up to what they are in Christ? Do we say they are less than a man or woman of God? Half a man of God? Not quite a man of God? Half-baked?
Wouldn’t it be a tragedy if, in the instance of a saved person, the brethren couldn’t honestly say confidently that person is a man or woman of God?
Regardless of our specific gifts and callings, we ALL should be able to be identified as men and women of God.

Let me know when you get home: I want to call you and speak with you concerning the work of the Holy Spirit in my life (and among those whom I am in fellowship with).
Peace (and praying for your trip),
Mark
