You know what this site is really? It is a beacon for spiritual Christians to find because where else do you see Scriptural locality being pointed as being the primary organizing of the Church?
When I say Scriptural locality or biblocality, the definition is:
"the Apostles, directly commissioned by God, work regionally to appoint Elders of a locality who in turn approve Elders of meeting places."
But the Apostles have to be in agreement. If a believer doesn't have this on the forefront of his conscience, whether a worker or not, he has not consecrated himself enough to come to this realization so God's grace doesn't give him this light of truth.
How do you expose false locality? By observing false Apostles who teach false things, not teaching correctly such truths as our being tripartite, osas arminian, gap restoration and partial rapture to name but a few issues centering most discussions.
It stands to reason the body of Christ will have more errors than Elders of a meeting place. Elders of a meeting place will have more errors than Elders of a locality. Likewise, Elders of a locality will have more errors than the Apostles. Unless the Apostles are right, errors will inevitably trickle down.
Hence, the necessity of the questions for Apostles to ensure they are right before God and for the Church to be confident who the Apostles are. The Apostles agree on those questions (see the questions in your profile details (http://biblocality.com/forums/profile.php?do=editprofile)).
