<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">A. 1:1-4 lays out the
Qualification and function of elders or overseers (bishops). There
was no distinction between these offices in those days - all were
synonyms for the same person. Man's traditions are like mollusks -
they gather on a ship's hull slowly but surely, and eventually the
speed of the ship is so compromised, that it must be taken into dry
dock, scraped and repainted, and then it returns to its original
speed. The church is like a ship. Slowly man's traditions gather,
contrary to the clear teaching of God's Word. Sadly the church fails
to go into dry dock like a ship, and becomes more and more
ineffective. Perhaps the greatest departure is leaving the “city
church concept”, and forming denominations and fellowships, that
make it almost impossible for local churches in the city to move into
the unity originally practiced in the first century. It is so long
since we have seen a truly functioning city church, that we read the
NT in the light of what we see operating today, and can scarcely see
what it really says. Imagine only having 7 deacons for an entire city
church like Jerusalem, serving all the local churches! Imagine having
a city Eldership composed of but one leading elder in each church of
the home, meeting regularly with the 5-fold ministry to solve
problems such as in Acts 15; and commission and send forth
missionaries such as in Acts 13:1-3.</font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">The Reformation of 1517 really
didn't make that much of a change. Justification by faith instead of
works for the basic doctrine? Yes - Martin Luther led in that. Church
government in the NT sense? Not really. All of this might well
require the return of our Lord to see such radical restoration
changes back to NT standards.</font></p>
