The two main criteria most Christians look for in a “church” today are:

Do they like the “Lead Pastor” and the “service” he puts on for them each week?

Interestingly, these are post-Biblical concepts not found in the New Testament.

In fact, both are contrary to what the New Testament actually teaches.

In the New Testament, there are no “lead pastors” but rather multiple elders (plural) with other diverse leaders …

Who equip US for works of ministry.

That’s why the New Testament also says that when we gather together, ministry is from one another to each other …

Rather than from the “one.”

It’s time to repent and be the Church once again.
