order to practice fellowship, the co-workers must learn to:
2. Seek fellowship. Without fellowship there is no coordination. In order to practice fellowship, the co-workers must learn to:
a. Open up their hearts to each other. b. Forsake individualism and be in one accord as one man. c. Bear one another's burdens. d. Actively seek fellowship. e. Only in the authority and in the fellowship can there be the real practice of arrangement, sending out, staying, and commitment. 3. Who is a co-worker and who is an apostle: 1. Apostle. The apostleship is not a gift but an office. From the gifted ones God chooses some who are vessels fit for His use and sends them to work and establish the church for Him. For example, in Acts 13 Paul and Barnabas were prophets and teachers according to their gifts. But once sent out by the Holy Spirit, they were called "apostles" in Acts 14:4. An apostle is not required either to have an occupation or to forsake it if he has one. Paul's occupation was that of an apostle, not a tentmaker. He simply worked as a tentmaker so that he could be an apostle. 2. Co-worker. The scope of the co-workers is larger than that of the apostles. All the brothers and sisters must make their occupations a secondary thing for the purpose of serving God. All of those who are for the Lord are our co-workers. 4. The matter of finances: 0. Concerning the distribution of money in a local church, there are the following categories:
a. Regular expenses. b. Care of the poor. c. Care of the need of the responsible brothers. d. The need of other local churches. e. The supply to individual workers. f. The supply to the entire region of the work. 1. The financial relationship among the co-workers: a. The one who takes the lead should supply the coworkers. b. The co-workers should be supplied according to individual need, not according to gift. c. All must learn to live by faith, to trust in God instead of in some human source, and not to be responsible for anyone else. All must learn to receive by faith and to give by faith.
