question..if a church doesnt believe in the five fold mininstry?? Is that blasphemy against the HOLY SPIRIT???

Certainly not. Just a different take on the work of the HS. I would "probably" prefer a church that practices five fold ministry. I say "probably" because every charismatic church I have been a part of was rife with excess and error. I have had far fewer red flags going off in fellowships that are not charismatic. Of course I realize that is just my personal experience.

Yes, if we look through the scriptures we do not see a repeated emphasis on a specific five-fold. There are many callings and functions in the body of Christ and we should be open to them. But no Church is perfect and all the New Testament Churches did not all have apostles, prophets, teachers etc. Some assemblies were very small.The Church in Corinthians was estimated to be only 60 believers in total.
