How Far Does CHURCH GOVERNMENT Extend into YOUR Life? - Herman L Hoeh - January 1961

Herman L Hoeh

Through whom does God make final decisions in matters of Church policy? What is your responsibility under the government of God? HOW MUCH do you, as an individual, have to say about the policy, the conduct, the practice of God's Church? What are the Church's prerogatives and what are each individual's prerogatives? It is time we learned what questions are matters of personal decision and what are matters of Church responsibility regulating us all! The Church Is a COLLECTIVE Body. The Church of God is a collective body. The Greek word for church means a group of individuals who have been called out for a purpose. When there is a church, a collective body, who is going to determine what the church does collectively? Who is responsible for determining what each member does as part of that body? Is each individual free to decide for himself how God's law applies to him? And what about "free moral agency?" - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
