Interesting.

It seems like all churches, though different, see their particular form of church government demonstrated in the early church. I wonder if God gives enough flexibility in the scriptures for more than one model to be "the" correct model? Or, do the arguments in favor of one model decisively eliminate the other possibilities?

...for answers to these and many other questions, stay tuned to this thread for further updates.
