As promised, I would like to bring attention to something I've heard say on this site that I believe we may have wrong. I include myself in this, However I do take the site serious and so do many others. I think we should consider this verse.
Matthew 18:20.
You see a governing of the Church in Matthew 18. And Christ is in the midst.
We're Identified with Christ!!
We're not baptized unto this site We're baptized unto Christ, We dont leave off from that, This union is not done by us, this is done by the Holyspirit, And that gathering is the Church! We have been gifted ministers of all sorts,, and pruned to bare fruit for the ministry. You don't take that off and on like a winter coat.
We are not a body of people called into something, as having location. we're a body of people called out of something. And that's the world. And we didn't do the gathering.
This site is not the Church we are, This site is the location where we gather. We don't diminish that for the sake of improper functioning.
The Lord set up hierarchy for its spiritual benefits, When we break it willingly or unknowingly we can see the unfunctional practices come to surface. This is why Paul gave pastoral epistles when he set up Churches. Everything in scripture applies in our lives. PERIOD. When we come on this site He's still Lord!! Today the Church is on this site! And will be tomorrow.
Matthew 5:13-16.
When we gather on this site we bring salt to it. and we function as written in scripture.
