Apostles who have direct commission from God in the Ministry (Eph. 4.11) for the Church appoint Elders to take care of a whole Biblical locality who oversee the Elders of many meeting places within.

"And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen [overcomers, Rev. 7.9, 19.14], who had the writer's inkhorn by his side. And Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof...and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity...but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary [begin in the midst of christendom itself]...And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which [had] the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me" (Ez. 9.3-4,6,11).

Before there can be Elders of a locality (other than Apostles who are also Elders) appointed by Apostles of a region of churches, first there must be at least Twelve Apostles in agreement to show solidarity as it was in the first century by this time, agreeing to the 37 questions or the questions the Twelve agree upon in agreement with the Word.

Once enough Elders of meeting places give their meeting places on the Meeting Place Finder for the Body of Christ, out of some of those Elders will arise Apostles directly commissioned by God so that the Ministry (Eph. 4.11) has Twelve Apostles with more to follow.

Then, and this is the vital point, we shall travel to localities, in groups of two or three, in a pronounced fashion to appoint Elders of localities whom we can find that agree with us. The Elders of a locality will also place their meeting place on the map, in addition to taking care of all the meeting places in their locality.

One by one, they will approve of all the meeting places according to God's design, because the meeting places themselves are right before God with Elders who agree with these questions put before them in agreement with the Word. This is how we know they are abiding in God's will and authentic, for not disagreeing with the truth.

Elders a relative term-it simply means those who are more spiritually equipped to take care of their jurisdiction of a locality or a meeting place.

And this will not work if women are not equal as Apostles and as Elders.


5 Deeper Truths:
1) Biblical locality
2) Partial rapture
3) OSAS armnian - God predestinates by foreknowing (Rom. 8.29) of our free-choice (John 3.16,18) made in His image (Gen. 1.26,27): a conditional election, unlimited atonement, resistible grace, for the preservation of the saints. This is love.
4) Tripartite man and woman
5) Restoration of Creation - the restoration gap

There are many others, but these five form the foundational truths of the Scriptures upon Christ's substitution (justification by faith), co-death identification, and sanctification (sanctification by faith and consecration, that is, the believer is not only justified, but is made holy before God by separating himself).

The three items in the ark of testimony were the manna (typifies salvation), the two tablets (the Word), and Aaron's rod (the Holy Spirit). By the time of Solomon's temple, similar to today, things were so luxurious, somewhere along the line a priest removed the manna of salvation and Aaron's rod or the Holy Spirit from the temple. The pretentious worship of the Word was because of being without salvation or God's Spirit, so the Word was all for naught in the hands of the priests, similar to today. All three must be present: the Word, authentic salvation and the Spirit - Comforter of truth.

Explaining These Truths Chronologically
Contrast the Problems of Church History in the 7 Church Periods with the Solutions Below

(1) There began the commencement of recovery, refusing papal authority at the time of Martin Luther. The time from Clement to Augustine truths were very unclear and dim. It was out of this papal system the heretical teaching of historicalism came (amillennialism, preterisms, and post-millennialism).

(2) Prominently next was voluntary poverty. There should be only two classes of people in the Church - the naturally poor and voluntarily poor. Francis of Assisi was a catholic who sold all to give to the poor. Count Von Zinzendorf in Saxony, Germany (18th century) opened up his wealth to the Moravian church. From this church more missionaries have sent out than any other. Then there was Sister Eva who who also chose voluntary poverty. What followed was many in Great Britain who sold all they had and followed the Lord. And then many Brethren (1828) became poor voluntarily. The issue of money must be resolved. As God is the creator of all things, Satan tries to unify and unite all things into one thing - money, that is, the mammon of unrighteousness. All mammon is unrighteous, not just the love of money. If you do acquire the mammon of unrighteousness, use that wealth to gain friends to receive your reward in heaven. The one thing we need to be careful of though is not to give mammon to unrighteous hands.

(3) Can you see the deficiency of the Reformation (Luther brought in the power of politics to help protest, not realizing such power would end up damaging the Church instead of helping her; so, came about national churches, an unequal yoking of together of politics and believers)? As well, Luther himself was confused about and unable to reconcile his held beliefs of resistible grace and total depravity. These two teachings are irreconcilable. If you can resist grace to not be saved, then you are not totally deprave, for if you were totally deprave, you could not resist God drawing. Ergo, calvinism is a lie because total depravity is a lie. James Arminius gave the truth of these mistaken assumptions of calvinism so that we have OSAS arminian's 5 points showing us the way of God's salvation. Luther also changed his mind from limited atonement to unlimited atonement (that was a positive move), and his writings were unclear on whether he believed in conditional or unconditional election. This is reflective of Luther's frustration being unable to reconcile total depravity and resistible grace. Consequently, Luther, lacking clarity, avoided this matter as much as possible.

(4) The nonconformists. The rise of independent churches found national churches too dissatisfying. The error of independent churches, regional churches, national churches, person churches, doctrinal churches, ethnic churches still remained. During this time, we see those coming out of the worldly churches. Even still, God's way is not independent church (see 14).

(5) The believer's equality (Mennonites revealed this) and baptism: rejecting sacerdotalism and accepting rebaptizers (anabaptists), which rejects the premise of infant baptism. As a result those in this recovery were severely persecuted. Nonetheless, this was still mostly to do with external recovery.

(6) The inner life. Madame Guyon, Father (later Archbishop) Fenelon, and others developed this area of spiritual life. They were accused of being mystics, but they in fact were the most spiritual of their day. Men could not understand them, so the accusers found their accusing word to accuse them with - mystics. God also raised up the Pietists and the Quetists who had a deeper inner spiritual life. Then the Puritans with their inner life began to diminish greatly as exhibited by believing in calvinism. The "Mayflower" was the now famous ship that carried these emigrants from Holland and England to America corrupting it with the pride of calvinism.

(7) Heavenly calling (the Brethren taught this-the goal does not lay in the reforming of society or expect an earthly blessing since the world will soon pass and all on earth will be judged. This was a radical departure in the church by the 19th century). The problem with the Brethren movement was but one, when having such an abundance of the truth objectively, there can be a lack of subjective experience. Leading Bible expositors among them were J. N. Darby and F. W. Grant who believed the church to be in ruin. The heavenly calling countered the social reform efforts stemming from the false teaching of post-millennialism.

(8) Partial rapture and restoration of creation in the six summary days. During the 19th century, Robert Govett recovered the teaching of first rapture according to readiness (Rev. 3.10, Luke 21.36) and the last trumpet harvest (1 Thess. 4.15-17, 1 Cor. 15.50-52) of those who are alive and left to be raised with those asleep. G. H. Pember recovered the teaching of the sin of the inhabitants of earth's earliest ages when Lucifer fell, brought 1/3 of the angels with him and ruled over earth and what we now call demons; these demons were cast into the deep when God made ("became," same word used in Gen. 2.17, 19.28) it a desolate waste. Sometime later God restored what was already there in the six days which represent a summary of this period of restoration.

(9) Sanctification (sanctification by faith and consecration, that is, the believer is not only justified, but is made holy before God by separating himself). This began with John Wesley. His lacking was having no faith God can give eternal life at new birth. But, he did accept the first four points of osas arminian. After Wesley came Robert Pearsall Smith, husband of Mrs. Hannah Smith who wrote The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life. The Keswick movement (Evan Hopkins of England, Theodore Monod of France and Smith) also taught the same. Andrew Murray was also raised up in this area. These brothers stabilized the work of recovery. Frances Ridley Havergal's hyms also expounded on sanctification.

(10) The crucifixion of the old man. Darby noted putting off the fleshly man as well as sins of the flesh from the old creation. Jessie-Penn Lewis was also raised up to proclaim the truth of the cross. We are not just dead to sins, but dead to self. Anyone not dead to self, it is illegal for them to be married to Christ. The cross puts them away (Gal. 2.20) and whoever is not dead to sin is a dead old man (Rom. 6.6). We are dead to the law (Rom. 7.4) so we can be married to Christ.

(11) The truth of resurrection (what death can't hold, is part of resurrection life in the new creation). Margaret E. Barber also found agreement in what T. Austin Sparks taught on resurrection life. However, what Sparks lacked was the acceptance in a deeper way the body life (i.e. Biblical locality). These writings were recorded in the "Overcomer" magazine.

(12) Kingdom reality (and global prayer effectiveness for the church). This was exhibited in the Welsh Revival. In 1901-2 a great stirring broke out through the instrumentality of Evan Roberts. That revival surpasses all in the past history of the Church. None compared to it. He was not a good preacher, but Jessie-Penn Lewis taught him English as well as by J.C. Williams. Through his education many were saved through Evan Roberts. He was not an eloquent man, yet his impact was magnificent. When he spoke something real always came out. The Boxer Rebellion that killed tens of thousands of saints, increased global prayer. Quite notably Evan Roberts stood out in this regard in helping bring about this prayer. Many were sent to this oppressed land through such global prayers. Kingdom reality is a geographical occupation of the land, wherein a greater percentage of the population is Christian. God wishes His kingdom to come on earth,

"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven...But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6.10,33).

(13) Spiritual warfare. Still today the most authoritative book on spiritual warfare is Jessie Penn-Lewis's book The War on the Saints, which was co-authored by Evan Roberts. Through this book, spiritual warfare was released to the church by the dividing of spirit, soul and body (Heb. 4.12; 1 Thess. 5.23). Such light had not been seen for almost 2000 years in Ephesians 6 for since then believers had failed to experience these truths to this extent.

(14) Women Elders. Through church history, women have not commonly been thought of as being elders, though Paul never said women could not be elders of a meeting place or a Biblical locality. How sad that would be if that were true, that not even one women on the whole planet could be an Apostle for a region, an Elder of a locality or an Elder of a meeting place. Rather, what Paul taught was that women are emotional which can affect judgment. But, this past century women have taken on greater responsibility, to vote and to take on any position in government. This reflects not a recovery of women as Elders in the Church, but women coming into a place of responsibility as they mature and overcome in Christ. We already know of an example in Scripture where a woman was an Apostle ("Junia", Romans 16.15), but due to society and tradition, there were no noted women Elders in the first century, though I am certain there were some as Paul did not say there could not be any. God speaks according to the times. For example, God would never again send an Abraham's son to be sacrificed (such sacrifices were the norm in the world), nor would God teach that men could divorce for no reason at all (due to the fact staying in the marriage would actually make the situation worse). Praise the Lord, what has occurred in the past century in the Church, more women elders, has brought about positive changes directly because Christian women walk more by the principle of their spirits' intuitive conscience in communion with God, and not by oscillating emotion! Many fleshly Christians still want to live under the RCC or other male-centric systems, but such an attitude is not permitted in the leading move of the Church today. Let us never forget, "So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" (Gen. 1.26). Men who conveniently want to subjugate women in the Church will have no part in Revival for the truth in the Church.

(15) Unity of the church (the Brethren taught this) in oneness (which reveals and shows the church is in ruin today), or the body life (i.e. Biblical locality). Hence, the name of this forum: Biblocality Christian Forums. The apostles are commissioned by God directly on how to set up the churches by appointing elders to take care of Biblical localities. This has been forgotten since the first church period of Ephesus, when this first love began to be lost. This call today for the Church was raised up by Watchman Nee (1901-1972). Before Christ can return, the body life must be in place where the churches are founded on the apostles and the prophets, to not divide the Church any other way. What has happened in the past century regarding Biblical locality?
  • (a) Watchman Nee (CFP, CLC; not LSM) raised up this truth.
  • (b) The number of apostles abiding in this truth were 400 in China during the first half of the 20th century, but it dropped to 200 apostles in Nee's day.
  • (c) Nee was martyred in jail the last 20 years of his life. Are you going to stand up with me to reclaim Biblical locality?
  • (d) The little flock (some in the Church) with God's directly commissioned apostles remained in this truth through the ensuing decades.
  • (e) Satan entered to squash this work of God. Satan entered the heart of a "tare" (a man) during the 50's and 60's to counterfeit Biblical locality. This facsimile (LSM) and replicatory effort did much damage to the Church to keep it in ruin.
  • (f) The little flock with their Biblical apostles separated themselves from the deception and person in (e). That deception was several false teachings and a central-hub to Biblical locality. This is wrong, since in the Bible we see the Church has no hierarchy beyond the regional work of apostles.
  • (g) There has been a stalemate ever since then; the Church, which had a leading movement within of the little flock, as a whole does not want to move forward but remains divided. This is why it is so vital to establish twelve in agreement to reclaim the first love that was lost.
  • (h) The moderators of this forum have read about these things and testify they are true by the Holy Spirit.
  • (i) We now wait for twelve apostles to come together on this basis, to ask questions of apostles to be sure of their authority in the Ministry of the Work in agreement for all apostles to agree to because they are directly commissioned by God, and therefore, would agree.
  • (j) Prophecy: when the twelve regional apostles come together in agreement, this foundation, will cause them to go forth to set the example, for other regional apostles to appoint elders to take care of Biblical localities, using the Meeting Place Finder.
  • (k) Once many meeting places begin in earnest, the Meeting Place Finder can be placed on any website. The meeting places in it will be exactly the same no matter what website the Finder is on. The purpose of Biblocality Forums is to facilitate through the 12 apostles the questionnaire for themselves and apostles to follow for proper authority and submission in the Church. Under no circumstances is there to be advertising. The apostles must abide in "voluntary poverty," and the Meeting Place Finder is never to be anything more than a meeting place finder (that is, it must be without a central-hub - even databases should be maintained regionally by the apostles - just as the regional work of apostles do not exceed their regional scope, and Biblical localities do not have jurisdiction over other localities).
May the Lord of harvest fill the lack to replace the "needed" to "are sent forth"!
