To be a "team player" means the "group" has its own independant goals.
I will ask again, what sorts of decisions does an assembly need to make other than time and content of meetings (and perhaps place)? I don't mean in current practice - where their are already huge congregations with funds and ministries tied up with the assembly. I mean quite simply an assemblage of Christians who come together for mutual edification, but not with a "mission" or to do "a work".
I'm not saying
issues won't arise among God's people in assemblies. But "the group" doesn't need to make decisions about that. Humans with relationship with eachother and with God work those out.
