The bible never calls for a church to be an accessory to a belief system, it is an organism BECAUSE OF a belief system

Scripture calls for preachers, teachers and evangelists and does not define any of those as a group of any kind, rather .. individual men.

The Bible has the account of Christ founding the church on his apostles. Doesn’t your Bible have that?

A belief system in which Scripture was supreme as the assured Word of God and transcendent standard for obedience and testing and establishing truth claims, as is abundantly evidenced , Matthew.

Thus the church began in dissent from authority, but based upon Scriptural substantiation. (Mt. 22:23-45; Lk. 24:27,44; Jn. 5:36,39; Acts 2:14-35; 4:33; 5:12; 15:6-21;17:2,11; 18:28; 28:23; Rm. 15:19; 2Cor. 12:12, etc.) And by this it must continue to establish itself.
