No, just 19... But my pastor prayed over me last Sunday that I would have the maturity of a 40 year old, with the ability to do the work of GOD as a 19 year old. If you can all imagine it, although my posts are of the serious sort here, I can be a bit of a goof-ball at my home assembly, and my pastor has to remind me to prepare to be an elder one day, that I must be sober and grave and watch my tongue, for my speech can not be condemned.
Anyways, H1, have you considered the verses I provided on how an assembly should be run? Does it look denominational to you? Would the LORD detest the building of a Tabernacle in the OT against HIS plan? Will the LORD detest an organization being built in the lack of Scriptural support for this innovation for the church?
GOD BLESS!

I didn't read anything in those verses that said an assembly must be run a certain way. Not one. It's just not there.
Baptism, for instance, is the same way. There is no scripture that tells us how it should be done, only that it should be done in Jesus' name. We have several examples, but nothing that gives instruction on how it should be done.
It's the same with the scriptures you gave. There are examples, but nothing that says it has to be done a certain way. Only that things are done decently and in order. That's all.
