If you are not a rightfully ordained bishop, you don't have the authority to determine for the Church the proper interpretation and implications of Acts 17:10-12.

Not only do we Christians have the authority, we have the glorious responsibility to declare Christ risen, by the work of the Holy Spirit within you and me.

"Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light " -- 1 Peter 2:5-9

Where's that in the Bible? Are you an ordained bishop?
