Once the church has grown from Jerusalem to Judeal and Samaria, and finally to the ends of the earth, what happens next?
It is wrong to commence from the ends of the earth. It has to be from the center to the circumference. Yet for the believers to remain in Jerusalem is also wrong because the heart desire for the Lord is to the ends of the earth. And to achieve this, persecution is used to send out followers. As those are persecuted, others take notice and walk in the same path of righteousness extending outwards until the ends of the earth are reached with the gospel preached.
Now that this has been achieved and the 4 corners of the earth have been reached, we need to use the internet to go that one step further and build the Meeting Place Finder for the Body of Christ and have informal apostles all on the same page by, more specifically, agreeing in these 33 questions (http://www3.telus.net/trbrooks/needtoagree.htm) (now 37 - Aug. 17, 2006). These questions should be tweaked, perfected by the first twelve that come together in agreement on these Biblical truths so that other workers may follow in harmony.
Dissension will be lessened in assembly life. And then Christ returns.
