Saul of Tarsus was not called by God to bring order to the church, but rather to preach and establish the Gospel throughout Asia. Romans 1:1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 1 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, Galatians 1:15-16 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, The Apostle Paul was trying to fix the Corinthian church because they brought pagan practices into the ministry and therefore lost the Lordship and order of Christ. Paul did not have this same internal sin problem in the ministry at the other churches he established because they did not adopt the secular, pagan, hybrid Christianity like the Corinthians did. All of the churches Paul established were mighty in Holy Ghost power, but the Corinthians were extremely carnal and problematic above all. Although Paul was a great problem solver and teacher, he was called to be an Apostle on a mission from God spreading the Gospel.
