We will see in "that day" who has titles and who has functions. That is why I am not really interested in titles. Only the ones that pass the Bema are real.

So try to function, according to your strengths, and your opportunities, and let the Master (Gk kurios) deal with appelations. Peter was named by Jesus. He didn't get to pick his own name.

I know, I know: Saul became Paul, and "Watchman" Nee and "Witness" Lee were 'raised up', but really I don't see compelling precedents there, nor does history seem to bear that out.

Instead I see titles becoming bones of contention. Not worth it. Just function. Let God sort things out. Jesus didn't give us "Roberts Rules of Order". He just said "love one another".
