Principles For The Gathering Of Believers

21 - Principle 17 The Spirit is Essential

Christianity was birthed in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit309 and will only continue as we have this empowering from above. When we look at Church history the only truly significant stories of men that influenced and built the kingdom of God were men who were filled with the Holy Spirit. This anoint... Read More

22 - Principle 18 The Satanic Counterfeit

Though God is always working in different ways and with different means, it is still only by the Spirit of God that the Church will grow. Over the past 50 years particularly originating in Western countries there have been such excesses and abuses of what is considered Spirit-filled Christianity tha... Read More

23 - Principle 19 Dependence on the Spirit of Jesus

A godly writer over 200 years ago lamented the lack of the actual presence of God355 in Christian Assemblies with these words: “By this process the Church steadily ceased to be a testimony to the existence, presence, and working of the living and true God. Less and less often did unbelievers coming ... Read More

24 - Principle 20 Holy Spirit Normal Christianity

As one reads through the Book of Acts, the work of the Holy Spirit in the early Church is evident on every page. If you remove the work of the Holy Spirit from the Book of Acts you have virtually nothing left. Truly, He empowered the first disciples to “turn the world upside down.”370 The places in ...

25 - Principle 21 Hungering After the True Holy Spirit Baptism

It was asked of one brother that travels amongst the house Churches in the Chinese Church and speaks with the underground leaders, “How do the Chinese choose the leaders?” The answer was simple; the brother responded: “Whoever is the hungriest after God, they are the leaders.” Such a need is present...

26 - Principle 22 God Uses the Weak by His Spirit

God does not look to find those who are the elites and those who are the most skilled. Rather He looks for the weak383 and foolish who trust in Him. God uses broken pots and vessels,384 He uses imperfect people who trust in a perfect God. Thus all men will know that it is God who has manifested His ... Read More

27 - Principle 23 Cults, False Gospels and Division

Religious freedom has its benefits for unhindered preaching of the Gospel. These freedoms have allowed some vibrant godly forms of Christianity to grow and prosper and yet these freedoms have sadly also allowed many of the vilest perversions of Christianity to prosper. One cannot begin to calculate ... Read More

28 - Principle 24 Christ the Unity of the Body

Denominations, being splintered by slight shades of truth, are not pleasing to God, but rather grieve Him, though like a precious diamond we can see something good in every denomination.404 There is always some truth that one specific denomination knows, believes and preaches that is noteworthy and ...

29 - Principle 25 Not Judging Others

Many in our day will judge and consider a believer not saved or born-again if they do not meet a specific man-made standard. If a believer is not overcoming 100% in a specific area, or is partaking in some worldly activity, one may judge and claim that believer is not saved. Such merely outward judg... Read More

30 - Principle 26 Having a Right Doctrine but Wrong Spirit

There is a saying: “You can be so right that you become wrong.” Sadly some in Church history were 100% right in their doctrines but in their practice they were wrong. The goal of the Christian life is to know and love God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, receiving eternal life throug... Read More

31 - Principle 27 The Priority of Love

The Lord is crystal clear in the priority and importance He puts on our love one for another. This is not an option but a reality that will manifest when true believers are together.447 If love is lacking there should be a sense of alarm that something is wrong in the body life.448 The law of love s...

32 - Principle 28 Examine Yourself and Correction in Love

In this age of technology when we get hurt it is easy to go to Facebook, or other social media to voice our feelings. For many of us having mercy or asking: Am I correct in feeling this way? can become an afterthought. Scripture reminds us to examine ourselves first. Judging, criticizing, maligning ... Read More

33 - Principle 29 Being Rich in Mercy

In many of the Epistles, the Apostles began with the wonderful phrase: “Grace and mercy.”486 If God began writing many of His holy Letters to us in this manner, then we should do also in our own correspondence with others in the body of Christ. In the beginning of the Book of Jude we read, “Mercy, p... Read More

34 - Principle 30 Reading the Entirety of Scriptures

For many Christians in countries with no persecution, having a Bible—the full Scriptures495—is often not appreciated. We do not realize that the Bible is our greatest physical treasure in this world. In persecuted nations our sisters and brothers weep over the Word of God and often only have parts o... Read More

35 - Principle 31 Godly Disciplines for Assemblies

One of the hidden jewels of the Church is godly discipline. There has been a great lack of teaching and encouragement in modern evangelicalism towards the godly disciplines of: Fasting, waiting on God, early rising, head coverings, prevailing prayer, systematic Bible reading, Bible memorization, kne...

36 - Principle 32 Godliness Through the Act of Submission

One of the most important areas of godliness in the life of a believer is the area of submission. If one is not submissive but rebellious in spirit, there is a great danger of pride and sin. Many warnings are given in Scripture towards that state of rebellion and un-submissiveness in a believer’s li... Read More

37 - Principle 33 The Obedience of Believers Baptism

In Christendom there have been huge divisions over the doctrine of Baptism. Yet this practice is not something to be ignored for it is Biblical and needs to be exhibited in the life of the Church. Baptism is something that is reserved only for believers who have come “out of darkness into his wonder... Read More

38 - Principle 34 The Body of Christ: An Army of Evangelists

According to the Chinese rural underground Church witnessing, evangelizing and making new disciples is the number one task of the Church. Their cry to go and make new disciples is backed up with their very lives. In many cases if they speak to the wrong person about Jesus, they face prison, torture ... Read More

39 - Principle 35 The Lord’s Supper: The Death of Christ

The Lord’s Supper is clearly a New Testament practice that the early disciples kept, as its significance is tied into the end of the age. The Scripture says that as we remember the Lord we are proclaiming His death until He comes back.555 This death is important because by the death of Christ, He to... Read More

40 - Principle 36 Dependence on the Moving of the Holy Spirit

In The Book of Acts the Church was birthed, led, sustained and grew in the power of the Holy Spirit. For many there is a hesitancy to speak much of depending radically on the moving of the Holy Spirit. Today for many sincere Bible believing Christians this terminology brings to mind many excesses of... Read More
