Bible Note: Further good stuff, Ancient! You and Country Girl have a lot of good things to contribute. I think we were posting simultaneously to Country Girl's post. (Please excuse my interjection.) Is it possible that church attendance -- or perhaps I should say more broadly involvement in a local assembly -- could fall under both the categories of "Apostolic Example" and "Necessary Inference?" Apostolic Example because they gave themselves so thoroughly to the instruction and equipping of the saints and none of them went off and became hermits. Necessary Inference because: (1) (As I posted to Country Girl) God has created this unity through Christ (Ephesians 2) and (2) For the exercising of the gifts to the edification of the saints (Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12) Or do I err in the application of the principles you are discussing? |
