What shall it profit a believer to know the First Covenant but miss his own function and mission on earth about the teaching of the assembly? This site is dedicated to the glory of the Lord Jesus intended to reveal the whole TRUTH of the functions of the local assembly, focusing on the literal aspect of the scriptures, specifically the New Covenant [N.T.], making easier for any serious believers who wants to separate himself from denominations and be gathered unto the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Likewise, this site reveals the TRUTH from the New Covenant itself--based on the verses and the context alone, neither adding nor taking away ideas on and from it. This site believes that the New Covenant is complete. It contains everything we need to know. It is also precise. There is only one interpretation, and the New Covenant, through thorough reading, reveals it to us. |

They refuse as unscriptural, all denominational names, and all systems of man's devising for assembly order. They believe that the assembly is one body, comprising all believers, they refuse to assume any name that is not common to all the members of that universal body, and therefore prefer the simple title of "Christians", "brethrens", "saints", or simply "believers".
They do not call themselves a "Church", lest they be confused with the many "Churches" that exist in Christendom, but refer to those companies so gathered as above described, as "Assemblies", the Greek word that is used in the New Covenant being, "Ecclesia", meaning a "gathered out company"
They believe in the absolute and perfect inspiration of the Bible, and hold it to be the Holy Word of God, appealing to it at all times for guidance in matters of faith and practice. Recognizing it to be the final authority in all such matters. (2 Timothy 3:16, & 2 Peter 3:16).
Being convinced of the absolute authority of God's word, and of the completeness of its teachings, these Christians believe in the unity of "the Assembly of the living God", which "the pillar and ground of the truth", ( 1 Timothy 3:15.)
They believe that the one true assembly of God was formed on earth by the Holy Spirit, on the day of Pentecost, and embraces all who are children of God, by faith in Christ Jesus, as all true believers are sanctified and baptized into the body of Christ, by the Holy Spirit. ( Acts 2:1, 1 Peter 2:1, 1 Corinthians 12;13).
They believe that the body of Christ is therefore a living organism, made up of many members, united to each other in a mystic, unbreakable union. Christ Himself being the head of the Body, ( Romans 12:4-5, Ephesians 4:1-6, Colossians 1:18).
Because these scriptures and others teach that God Himself has constituted this organism ( the body of Christ),from its beginning, they seek to act upon it by meeting together simply as members of that body.
THEY HAVE SOUGHT TO RETURN TO THE PRACTICE OF WHAT IS TAUGHT IN THE NEW COVENANT, AND NOT TO FORM A DENOMINATION OR ECCLESIASTICAL ORGANIZATION.
In order to do so, many have found it necessary to sever their connections with ecclesiastical organizations or "churches", where formerly they found fellowship, because of the unscriptural practices of such, though at the same time seeking to maintain a love for those whom they have had to leave.
They stress that all who have repented and believed the gospel are their brothers and sisters in Christ, and are fellow members of the one body. They regret that in order to be true to the word of God, they are unable to have fellowship at the deepest level with so many of their brothers and sisters.
They would therefore love to see all Christians likewise meeting in this simple fashion, giving pre-eminence to the only Head of the One body, our Lord Jesus Christ, ( Colossians 1:18).
In their local assemblies they endevour to keep the unity of the Spirit, in the uniting bond of peace, ( Ephesians 4;1-3), by recognizing all who seek to gather to the Lord's name alone.
They believe in the presence, leadership and guidance of the Holy Spirit in the assembly, ( John 14: 16-17, 26, & 16;13-14. Acknowledging that He still sets over the flock, those elders to whom He imparts the wisdom to rule and teach the believers as He leads them, just as He did at the beginning, ( Acts 20;28, & Hebrews 13:7 & 17).
They thankfully recognize that they have been made worshippers, and that all believers are given the dignity of being made priests, and they desire to give the Holy Spirit complete liberty in their meetings to use whomsoever He wills as His mouth-piece in prayer, praise and in exhortation, (1 Peter 2;5 & 9, Revelation 1;6).
Understanding that every believer is a priest, and that all as members of the body have received gifts by the Holy Spirit, they seek to provide opportunity for the use of these gifts, (which may differ one from another), under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, for the glory of God, ( Romans 12:5-8, Ephesians 4:7-11, 1 Peter 4:10-11).
