Jesus' disciples never completed seminary either. I have done tent preaching evangelism starting in my early twenties, and preached both topical and expoistory sermons in a pulpit and teached Sunday School without credentials. God willing, I would hope to get ordained one day and of course complete seminary. I have some growing to do spiritually as I prepare for it.
While I think sound church government is important, I went to house gatherings and Bible studies while in college, but never substituted it for church but rather made it supplementary. Christian fellowship does not have to always be under the auspices of some church government. I presume that you mentioned this only because they are making an attempt at maintaining a de facto church body with Sabbath services, etc. If this is not the case than I do not think there is much cause for complaint. Though, your concerns may be warranted, I would withhold judgment. | Ryan,
I hate to disagree with you but Jesus' disciples did complete seminary training.
