When almost any sized group;
A) exists long enough—usually in hours
and/or
B) is large enough—usually 3 or more people and often 2 . . .
a leader or leaders will emerge.
IIRC, John Wimber would let such leaders emerge and then acknowledge them formally.
That parallels my understanding of God’s anointing on individuals somewhat even in the OT but certainly in the NT.
Otherwise, leadership tends to be formally acknowledging those with the best POLITICAL POWERMONGERING AND/OR SOCIAL SKILLS with little or nothing to do with Holy Spirit’s anointing.
That’s quite true. You’ve described the natural organization of a community well.
I agree that the Holy Spirit inspires/anoints people to become leaders in the Church. Where I probably disagree with you is that I think His inspiration is two-fold: He inspires men to become candidates for certain kinds of leadership, and He then inspires the Apostles to lay their hands on some candidates, which is the act that grants the authority to be leaders in Christ’s Church.
Back to my original question, were the leaders in Acts 15 the leaders of house churches and tribes in your opinion?
