I continue to believe that self-appointed (self-assumed) authority (office) was the root of the error of the Scribes and the Pharisees - and of all misguided religious organizations, including the Lord's Recovery.

Matt 23:8
“But do not be called Rabbi (Minister of the Age); for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.

Believers are called to discern true apostles from pretenders..."you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. (Rev 2:2)"

WHO ARE THE APOSTLES?
Are there living apostles today?
If we go back to the beginning, church history informs us that the early church fathers who continued in the New Testament ministry (after the initial apostles), did not regard themselves as apostles.
Why is that?
Because Scripture clearly teaches that an apostle was one commissioned by the resurrected Christ Himself (sent by Christ directly), and that all apostles had the gift to work miracles - as a seal (validation) to their apostolic function.

Witness Lee was not sent by Christ, he was the self appointed minister of the age...
"Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after themselves. (Acts 20:30)"

The Lord's Recovery will NEVER produce the Body of Christ, since the requirement for the Body to be produced is for EVERY saint to GROW UP INTO THE HEAD OF THE BODY - CHRIST HIMSELF, and NOT INTO Witness Lee's usurping ministry..."Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, Who is the Head. (Eph 4:15)"

As long as the teaching of and adherence to MINISTER OF THE AGE with the MINISTRY OF THE AGE continues, the Lord's Recovery will remain a divisive sect under the rule of self-appointed leaders who usurp Christ's Headship.
