Ohio,
With respect,
But everything in our Christian life is by the Spirit, not only the matter of appointing elders. We are discussing "practice" now. By practice I mean some visible and physical action of man. Please do not equate my model with WL's. I even did not post my former writings here.
I know my model is not perfect. But I hope we have a good fellowship. And I promise I will be corrected by you and Igzy or any other posters here who will indicate my errors. Actually that's the purpose of my posting my model.
In Christ,
Gubei
