Bible Question: I am a part of a worldwide fellowship that has recently came to realize that the organization of the church was taking away the freedom of the chrisitians. We do not want a clergy-laity system, infact we do not want a system at all, my question is how do you organize a church according to the N.T. churches in the first century? |
Bible Answer: greatfullydead, Welcome to the forum. You said, "I am a part of a worldwide fellowship that has recently came to realize that the organization of the church was taking away the freedom of the chrisitians." What does it mean to take away the freedom of the Christians? Have you studied the book of Acts of the Apostols? Also, you should study the book of Timothy for starters. If Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, then you should avoid saying "We do not want...". The question should be "What does the Lord want?" Greatfullydead is a good handle for those who have died to themselves and begun to walk in the Spirit as in Gal 5:16-26. Hope this helps, Pastor Glenn |
