Why is Jesus' Great Commission in Matthew 28 mandatory for every believer?

Is making disciples a special calling reserved only for pastors, missionaries, and full-time ministry staff, or does the Great Commission apply equally to all Christians?

In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus commands His followers: 'Go therefore and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.'

Notice that one of the commands they were to teach new disciples was to make more disciples! This makes the Great Commission a universal, generational calling for every believer, not an optional program for specialists. Every Christian is called to be a disciple who makes disciples.
