And just like the early church leadership in the book of Acts came together to discuss, make decisions, put the decisions in writing, and communicate the decisions to the Gentile church's to obey; so too the Church today can do the same when issues arise where decisions need to be made.
Are we in the same church as in the book of Acts or aren't we?
Pro 24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
Who was the king? The annointed leader. Are there annointed leaders today? Yes there are. God's annointing are upon men to lead in God's NT church today.
Pro 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
As God's people were to respect and obey the King in the OT, ...
Heb 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
