Download or read book The Apostolic Pattern written by Jim Rogers and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-06-25 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary source of disagreement in the religious world is a departure from the New Testament pattern given by the apostles, with churches relying instead on opinion for authority in religious practice and doctrine. By abandoning the apostolic original Christ's church has been left behind, producing today's debate and division. The only way to achieve the unity Christ prayed for is a return to the pattern He gave through His apostles. What is that pattern, how is it gleaned from scripture, and how is it applied in the 21st century? Rogers shows that by letting the Bible speak for itself, employing the same methods to interpret scripture that were used in New Testament times, a clear set of expectations emerges: a blueprint for the church's faith, practice, and purity. All who follow it will stand shoulder to shoulder with the first-century Christians: teaching for doctrine only what they taught, organizing as they were organized, and worshiping as they worshiped. The apostolic pattern is thus a blueprint for Christian unity, the only ground upon which everyone may stand with complete assurance that all they do is pleasing to God.

Book excerpt: The Apostolic Canopy is a book that describes the relationship dynamics of the fivefold ministry: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. This book addresses these individual roles and how they work together to reach and equip God's people to establish his kingdom. For too long the notion that apostles existed only in the first century or so of church history is no longer a valid argument. Today, it is evident that the fivefold ministry is rapidly emerging and mobilizing for the end time revival harvest that will sweep the globe. Apostles play the preeminent role among God's government, hence, the Apostolic Canopy. In this book you will understand the functional and relational dynamics of the Apostolic Canopy model. For you to embrace this model you must first understand and appreciate the role that each of the fivefold ministries plays in a person's life to reach, develop and send them to their destiny.

Download or read book Irenaeus the Scriptures and the Apostolic Writings written by Kenneth Laing and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenneth Laing challenges the concept of Irenaeus as the primary witness to the point at which the New Testament achieved scriptural status, and calls into question some of the most basic conclusions and assumptions of New Testament canon formation scholarship. Laing proposes a new interpretation of Irenaeus' understanding of the nature and basis of authority of the New Testament writings, based on his christocentric theology of revelation. By exploring the texts themselves, the concept of authority, scriptural tradition and the question of inspiration, Laing argues that while the writings possess authority equal to the Jewish scriptures, it is their apostolic origin and the apostles' relationship to Christ – not inspiration – which forms the basis of the unique revelatory authority of the New Testament writings. Laing thus stresses that Irenaeus regards the New Testament writings as a written record of the apostolic tradition and the primary means of accessing its content, rather than as a purely scriptural text.

Download or read book A Call to Alignment written by Kuda Mupfeka Sr and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Call to Alignment speaks directly to the body of Christ to take its rightful place through God-ordained structures and apostolic governance. As the kingdom of God is advancing to the other parts of the world so is the infiltration of man-made structures, philosophies, and empires that is replacing the original pattern of the church or the body of Christ. This book distinctly brings any teachings or doctrines that have deviated from the original God-ordained pattern for the church into alignment. The case and argument presented is excellent, and the thesis expounds the subject matter within context and gives the reader a valuable understanding of being spiritually aligned as per the pattern in the Old and New Testament. The illustrations and expounding of scriptures gives one a simple yet profound understanding of the concept of spiritual governance, and it gives clear apostolic directions and guidance to the body of Christ. This book is a must-read for all that are in ministry as a leader and also to all those that are called to be part of the body of Christ. This book addresses the most important aspect of kingdom reality and living-the realization of God's divine order in our lives. It is a handbook to bring into focus God's command and directive for His church to reflect Him accurately and succinctly in a rapidly changing world.
Download or read book The Pattern of an Antioch Church Or Apostolic Hub written by Christopher P Todd and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-06-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an emerging realization within the Body of Christ that God is calling His bride to be holy and is preparing His Body so that every member is equipped, filled, anointed, and functioning in their calling. He is going to fill His temple with His fire and glory in these last days to purify, sanctify and cleanse it so that we might manifest His glory upon the earth. The world wide Body of Christ, or the Universal Church is called to manifest the kingdom of God in the earth as one Body, with one hope, and with one calling, but every member of that body is unique and every local church is unique. Although every local church is called to conform to the same heavenly pattern, we recognize just as believers have specific giftings and ministries, every local church will have a unique prophetic mandate and calling to their community and to the wider Body of Christ. This calling and its expression will reflect the vision and personality of those within the church. One such church in the New Testament that was distinct in its ministry is the Church in Antioch which functioned as a hub or centre that was apostolic in nature and became a model that the Ephesian and Thessalonian Church's then adapted.
