No, the context was for the apointed apostles and teachers of the church to do the teaching of the world. Not everyone was supposed to preach. I think St. Paul said so, too.
You are free to believe and do as you please.

Again, I never said the passage was about the gift of Preaching, it was about the behavior of the believer.
Preaching the Gospel is what everyone does when they witness, standing in front of a pulpit, that is a special gift, given only to certain men.
We are commanded to preach the Gospel to every creature, all men, this verse has nothing to do with the gift of being a Pastor or Evangelist.

Uh, who are you, exactly, to say that these folks aren't called to preach?
