you, or we explained to follow Christ, no human leader or prophet. We had no offices as pastor, priest, bishop and no elders. As in biblical times, when there is no pastor of the herd, but many elders among them (among them) were, we were like brothers and sisters. The tasks are distributed according to ability and then, like any time had. Older brothers and obedient * tasks had with greater responsibility, but there were no laid down rules, who was an "older brother". From each
was expected that he studied the Bible, shared his thoughts and insights with others and proselytizing.
* with "brother" we usually mean not only male members, it is shorter than "brothers and sisters", the English translation for the German "sister" and the Hungarian "testverek. Even if English is the common language during my time with each other, there was only a few English speakers among us.
* obedience means, of course obedience to God. In fact, however, it was mixed with the obedience to the vision of our group.
1 Cor 14,24-26,29-32: But if all prophesy and an unbeliever or outsider enters, then he spoke to the conscience of all, and he feels all taken to the interrogation; what is hidden in his heart, is revealed. And he will bow down to worship God and proclaim, "Truly, God is with you! What will happen then, brethren? When you come together with everyone at something: a a hymn, another a teaching, a revelation, one speaks in tongues, and another is indicated. Everything done so that it is based. ...
14:29 Two or three prophets should speak out, to judge the others. But if there is another present a revelation is given, to let the first, one after the other, it can all prophesy. So learn something all and all are encouraged. The statement of prophetic inspiration is in fact the Will of the prophets subject. "
