God's Plan for Christians (http://biblocality.com/forums/misc.php?do=cfrules#plan)!
Apostles for a Region of Churches and Elders of a Biblical locality
Welcome to Biblocality Christian Forums run by actual Apostles directly commissioned by God to set up the churches for the body of Christ. Brothers and sisters, what is said here is most difficult for you to accept (as it was for us). Nonetheless, this is the truth - truly God's calling for the Church today! The leading move of the Holy Spirit today is right here fulfilling the condition needed for the return of Christ. The only lack is with members of the body of Christ "to take the place in this ministry and apostleship" (Acts 1.25) with conviction, courage, boldness, confidence, insight, ability, authority, trusting in God's timetable, and waiting for His complete instructions without running ahead! There are a few simple, key special aspects to Biblical locality:
The first 19 questions (in Edit Your Details under Your Control Panel) reflect the Word of God to validate if you are an Elder of a meeting place (relative to those in your meeting area) to be approved by an Elder of a locality (city, town or remote locale);
18 additional questions are asked so the Church can know you are an Apostle for a region of churches if you say you are. Each church locale is local expression of the Church. A region of churches comprises many church localities. An Apostle appoints Elders to take care of a whole Biblical locality usually with many meeting places;
If you are an Elder (either kind), provide your meeting place for fellowship on the Meeting Place Finder map (http://biblocality.com/forums/misc.php?do=cfrules#enter) for the Body of Christ;
Join the appropriate group memberships (http://biblocality.com/forums/profile.php?do=editusergroups): http://biblocality.com/forums/images/ac.gif (http://biblocality.com/forums/profile.php?do=editusergroups) , http://biblocality.com/forums/images/ec.gif (http://biblocality.com/forums/profile.php?do=editusergroups) , http://biblocality.com/forums/images/emc.gif (http://biblocality.com/forums/profile.php?do=editusergroups)
(each group is represented by a different colored cross with a description you are a member of on your Profile page, viewable by the public);
Choose an Avatar (http://biblocality.com/forums/profile.php?do=editavatar) in combination with group memberships that best represents your position, work and gifts for the Church in the body of Christ according to Eph. 4.11 and 1 Cor. 2.8-10; and
If you are an Elder of a locality, give the name of the Apostle who appointed you in the join request to this group, and join both Elder groups, since an Elder of a locality is always an Elder of a meeting place as well.
Why is this God's will? It has the effect of bringing in testimony of agreement to prepare for the return of Christ and give an outpouring of the gifts for the Church. Thou "hast tried them which say they are apostles" (Rev. 2.2) and commend not to seek power of "Nicolaitans" (v.6 - those who conquer the people) when you join a place where the Apostles are in agreement. In our returning to the "first love" (v.4) that was lost in which Apostles appoint Elders to take care of a Biblical locality, the Church agrees the only way to divide the local churches is according to the boundary of a locality (http://www3.telus.net/trbrooks/whichchurch.htm) as it was in the first century. Each locality is an independent unit and a reward to overcomers who return to reign with Christ in the millennial kingdom over this miniature of the new city of the new earth. Do you have the faith to believe this? May the Lord guide you in what to do next to effect this change.
To understand these three categories of workers (and their three respective areas of operation), study God's Plan for Christians (http://biblocality.com/forums/misc.php?do=cfrules#plan). God the Father has revealed through the Word by the Holy Spirit that before Christ returns in Person (Zech. 14.4; Acts 1.9-11; Matt. 24.27,30; Rev. 1.7,14.14,19.11), the Ministry of regional apostles (2 Cor. 10.13) appointing elders to take care of Biblical localities (Acts. 14.23, Titus 1.5) will become a global phenomena. When Christ returns in Person with His overcomers (Jude 14,15; Matt. 25.1-12), they will reign (Rev. 20.4,6) with an iron rod (2.27, 12.5, 19.15) over these Scriptural cities (Luke 19.17,19) for a literal 1000 years (stated six times in Rev. 20.2-7), the last 1000 years on earth before the new city and the new earth in the new heaven commences (ch. 21). "He that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations" (2.26), some 10 cities, some 5 cities, others just one city (Luke 19.11-27).
However, the overcomers shall also be the ministers of states and provinces as well as presidents and prime ministers of countries whatever title is given them. This could be a new ordering of names of leaders in the millennial kingdom to replace today's present day working in the world, or the apostles receive an expanded role from just a region of churches to multiple regions. However God decides to award such responsibilities, we are confident it will work just fine. And since there never was a legitimate pope, there need not be a pope in the 1000 years, for Jesus is our pope. He will reign with a rod of iron in the Temple in Jerusalem on earth. How wonderful in the past 2000 years, the church-body of Christ needs no human pope.
The leading move of the Holy Spirit on the planet today is right here with the call to gather twelve apostles (equal number of men and women for starters) in complete agreement. With one accord, we will begin to recapture the "first love" (Rev. 2.4) that was lost during the first church period (vv. 1-7): "do the first works" (v.5) of the Ministry (Eph. 4.11) to revive Biblical locality (http://biblocality.com/); then, more apostles will follow. Patiently we wait. Even though there are only a few posters on the forums, these are the necessary meek and lowly (Matt. 5.5,11.29,21.5) beginnings of the little flock (Luke 12.32) with a quiet spirit (1 Pet. 3.4), in the sight of God a great price (the beauty of the church, Matt. 13.46). When Biblical locality has been accomplished to the degree God requires, His overcomers (Rev. 2.7,10,17,26;3.5,12,21) will then return to reign over cities. First there was the three, then the twelve, followed by the 72, 120, 3000 and 5000; and so shall it be before the return of Christ.
