A specific use of this principle would be to consider the "teaching of locality". There is NO "prescriptive" Scripture for the doctrine of locality. It is all based on "descriptive" Scripture that is extrapolated into the teaching of one church, one city.

Thanks Matt and others for sharing re Bill. Being in California, I only saw Bill from a distance at trainings and conferences before he exited, but had a lot of respect for him based on what I heard. Can anyone share about what Bill did church and Christian work wise after 1986?
