Well, I’d find some fault in that, too.
That commission was given to the apostles and ministers (the sent), not to the people. They were to teach the gospel and baptize.
The divine call to the laity is to Faith (alone); belief in the humiliation and death of Christ for our (my) sins and that He raised His corporal body from the dead three days later. That Faith is thereby accredited to us (me) as righteousness before God.
Luther would provide that the individual XPian (laity) that “goes”, “teaches” and “baptizes” would be found in the Law performing “works righteousness”.
This would be the error of the Schwenkfeldians, who today are known as Modern American Evangelicals (like Billy Graham).
The divine commission was given to all. The New Testament makes no difference between laity as you call it and apostles. In fact Paul says that we are all a royal priesthood. We are called as believers to preach the gospel at all times and in all places. Sometimes we even need to use words to accomplish that.
James 1:.
[21] Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
[22] But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only [23] For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
[24] For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
[25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
James 2:
[17] Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
[18] Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
[19] Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
[20] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
[21] Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
[22] Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
[23] And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness [24] Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
[25] Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
[26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also
Works done out of belief and obedience are the essence of faith, and thus righteousness.
We do not all have the same gifts, but we all must do the works of righteousness that are the essence of saving faith.
