But - but - that won't make him special since this is every Christian's calling. He won't get any special attention that way!

On a serious note though .. The office of evangelist is specific and is held to a greater responsibility than the rest of us who are called to witness just as those who are called to be a pastor/teacher are held to a double dose of discipline if they teach error.
To him who is given much, much will be required. (Lk.12:48b)

We're all special to the Lord. Some of us just need a little more attention than others.

That's true. But I'm not sure if being an evangelist is his calling either. We're just guessing from what he's posting. 🤷

A call for us all to witnessing is not the same as a call to evangelism.
We are supposed to fill up our inner deficiency with more and more truth, as God fills us more and more with his happiness he shares with maturing believers. Some instead seek to fill up their deficiency with glory seeking techniques.
But, we still need to be careful... For some people are great at witnessing to street drug addicts with their approach that others can not reach.
Who are we to say? But, when someone begins to seek approval from fellow believers who have their own job to do? Then it can become a problem. It's forcing us to become his judge. Then controversy seeps in.

Gaslighting can come in all manners, shapes, and forms.
Those we see in mental health are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Gaslighting happens when someone tries to get you to believe an unreality that they impose upon you as reality.
In your case? You believe it yourself..... So, its not typical gaslighting.
It's the Word of God that you are gaslighting, and you can not see it.
Because... you can not see it.

Probably many of us have had dreams that were prophetic in nature.
Some have more than others.
But, that does not make one into a prophet as described in the NT church's early days.
Problems happen when someone becomes convinced he is a prophet because of prophetic dreams.
I had more than my share. Some of them caused me fear and trembling.
But, I never imagined myself to be a prophet.
Never could, because of knowing all the other aspects the Bible prescribed to a real NT gift of prophet.
