Some
New Testament Church Practices
Jesus is present with us wherever we are together in
His name
and we receive those He receives
Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."
John 13:20 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."
Romans 15:7 Therefore receive
one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.
A Lifestyle for a New Testament
Church
Acts 2:42 – 47
42 And they continued steadfastly
in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and
in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and
signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were
together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions
and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. 46 So
continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from
house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord
added to the church daily those who were being saved.
A Way of Coming Together for
a New Testament Church
1 Corinthians 14:26 – 33
26 How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge. 30 But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
