Above: the Very First Church VS Now<\/em><\/p>\n

Personally,<\/strong> I like, we like MEN, Christian men, non Christian men. And admire them performing in their many duties.<\/p>\n

The only kind that we need to address are\u00a0 (supposed) Christian\u00a0 subcultures in these United States\u00a0 which use FALSE RELIGION and accusing FALSE AUTHORITY, and seeming witchcraft OCCULT.<\/p>\n

PS Fellas, if none of these shoes fit, then please ignore them!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is often been for myself,<\/strong> a far off Pharisees, who sees me and presumes something, It is a form of ATTACK and HARRASSMENT\u00a0 (=’s transaction CORE…we regard the person is our property) authoritarian seeming presumption. I do not that do that, nor do I understand it as it is Shepherding movement, NAR, Apostles in the Gates of the City and big boss nosy busybody.<\/p>\n

Plus when they accuse,<\/strong> rumor and target me and many others,it has caused me to know them, their move their fruit, their doctrine and I differ with part of if, for usually it be ONLY out in GOOD OLE PERSON well meaning ministry. And usually spirit filled of certain ilk
\nI was raised Southern Baptist, where there was NO TALK OF THIS. As my own sr pastor parents, modeled “co-laborers, equally valued partners, ministry, happy fun also romance.”<\/p>\n

In hindsight, (<\/strong>only because I have intensely researched this for myself.) I saw the whole entire Christian leader family, on both sides, walk it out Ephesians 5:21 “Mutually submission in the fear of the Lord’ With each dad being the respected head of home and the chain of command if and when a tie in both persons’ opinion ,needed one (which was rare, but there)

Here is a First Church (Book of Acts\u2013era) view<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. CHRIST\u2019S ORIGINAL CHURCH ORDER (FIRST CENTURY)<\/h2>\n

A. FOUNDATION: JESUS HIMSELF<\/h3>\n

Jesus Christ<\/span><\/span> did not build a rigid hierarchy<\/strong>, but a relational, Spirit-led body<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Matthew 23:8 (KJV)<\/strong>
\u201cBut be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key Greek words:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u1f00\u03b4\u03b5\u03bb\u03c6\u03bf\u03af (adelphoi)<\/strong> = brethren, equals in family<\/li>\n
  • \u03ba\u03b1\u03b8\u03b7\u03b3\u03b7\u03c4\u03ae\u03c2 (kath\u0113g\u0113t\u0113s)<\/strong> = master\/leader (Christ alone)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Point: Meaning<\/strong>: No \u201cbig I\u2019s and little you\u2019s.\u201d All are brethren under Christ.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    B. CORE STRUCTURE: ORGANIC, NOT INSTITUTIONAL<\/h2>\n

    The First Church functioned like a living body<\/strong>, not a system. (This also translates:\u00a0 a Community (see Apostle Paul Ephesians 4)<\/p>\n

    Acts 2:42 (KJV)<\/strong>
    \u201cAnd they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Greek:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \u03ba\u03bf\u03b9\u03bd\u03c9\u03bd\u03af\u03b1 (koin\u014dnia)<\/strong> = fellowship, shared life<\/li>\n
    • \u03b4\u03b9\u03b4\u03b1\u03c7\u03ae (didach\u0113)<\/strong> = teaching<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Point:<\/strong> Order = teaching + relationship + shared life + praye<\/strong><\/p>\n

      C. LEADERSHIP OFFICES (FUNCTIONS, NOT BIG TITLES)<\/h2>\n

      1. APOSTLES (\u1f00\u03c0\u03cc\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03b9 \u2013 apostoloi)<\/h3>\n

      \u201cSent ones\u201d<\/p>\n

      Ephesians 4:11 (KJV)<\/strong>
      \u201cAnd he gave some, apostles\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \u1f00\u03c0\u03cc\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03c2<\/strong> = one sent with a mission<\/li>\n
      • Not rulers\u2014pioneers and foundation layers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Paul\u2019s pattern:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        • Moved on<\/li>\n
        • Did NOT control locally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          2. ELDERS (\u03c0\u03c1\u03b5\u03c3\u03b2\u03cd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf\u03b9 \u2013 presbyteroi)<\/h3>\n

          Acts 14:23 (KJV)<\/strong>

            \n
          • \u03c0\u03c1\u03b5\u03c3\u03b2\u03cd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf\u03c2<\/strong> = mature, seasoned (not just age)<\/li>\n
          • Local shepherding maturity<\/strong>, not celebrity authority<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            3. OVERSEERS \/ BISHOPS (\u1f10\u03c0\u03af\u03c3\u03ba\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9 \u2013 episkopoi)<\/h3>\n

            Acts 20:28 (KJV)<\/strong>
            \u201cTake heed\u2026 over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

            • \u03c3\u03ba\u03bf\u03c0\u03ad\u03c9 (skope\u014d)<\/strong> = to watch carefully<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Mature Point<\/strong>: Meaning: watchful care, not domination<\/strong><\/p>\n

              4. PASTORS (\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03b5\u03c2 \u2013 poimenes)<\/h3>\n

              • \u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03bc\u03ae\u03bd (poim\u0113n)<\/strong> = shepherd<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Point:<\/strong> Feeds, protects, tends\u2014not controls, owns or views them as their turf, property<\/p>\n

                5. DEACONS (\u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03ba\u03bf\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9 \u2013 diakonoi)<\/h3>\n

                  \n
                • \u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03ba\u03bf\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2<\/strong> = servant, minister<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Point:<\/strong> Practical service role\u2014keeps ministry grounded<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  D. FELLOWSHIP MODEL (NOT \u201cATTENDANCE MODEL\u201d)<\/h2>\n

                  The early church met:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • House to house<\/li>\n
                  • Public spaces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Acts 5:42 (KJV)<\/strong>
                    \u201cAnd daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

                    Teaching Poin<\/strong>t:\u00a0 Church = people in relationship<\/strong>, not buildings or systems.<\/p>\n
