review: june 28th
Perhaps my emotions have got the better of me. However the purpose of my June 28th post was not to speak against or to the people who worship in an institution. Instead I was concerned about some of my previous posts drawing wavering Christians out of worship and fellowship altogether. Therefore I proposed an alternative perspective for these Christians or even preChristians. In order to refine the previous blog I suggest people consider the "Bear Necessities" of the Church as Jesus instituted it:

  1. Fellowship-this includes relationships and the Holy Spirit with freedom in the Spirit among at least two believers
  2. The two sacraments commanded by Jesus-The Lords Supper and Baptism
  3. The Word of God-the movement and leading of the body of believers is to be tested against the Holy Spirit and the Bible. Though there is much debate about certain parts of the Bible, the whole of it if not the vast majority can be seen as God Breathed and giving a unified and universal message about the relationship between God and the human race.
  4. The making of Disciples

These can be found in scripture like matt 28:18, the Acts 2:32 passage, and are reflected in all parts of the Bible from Genesis to revelation.
