Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
How should the Ekklesia be structured or governed? How did Jesus treat His followers? Which model of the many churches is correct? Do we follow the examples set in the Old Testament? How do we resolve various conflicting views on biblical topics?
Because our understanding of God the Father and His Son is so important and foundational, we should be careful how we build on this foundation, but especially where we encounter differences of interpretation of belief and practice. The instructions and principles we should consider are found in Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 14.
Government is authorized by God for the protection, benefit, and peaceful existence of human society (Romans 13:1- 5; 1Peter 2:13-15). But these purposes and objectives cannot be properly achieved unless they are led and administered by righteous, just, God-fearing people.

Philippians 3:20,21 NKJV
Our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed (be like) His glorious body, according to the working (energy, power) by which He is able even to subdue (arrange, subordinate) all things to Himself.
