The Structure of Church of Philadelphia

 

Ephesians 5:23

“For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.”

King James Version (KJV)


2 Corinthians 11:2


 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.




Yes the Church is the BRIDE and The BODY of Christ



The Lord Rebuke all who deny the Church as the Bride of Christ - They very likely may be Bridesmaids...



Why I used, "The Lord Rebuke..." regarding those who deny the Bride of Christ is the Church



Ephesians 4:11

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;”

King James Version (KJV)



Let's talk seriously about Revelation 3:7-12 KJB



The Seven Churches of Revelation



Doctrine is: Learning The Teaching of the Word of God



How to Study and Understand the Bible - From a Workman Approved unto God by His Grace




The Church of Laodicea does NOT know The Mystery given to Paul from Jesus




The King James Bible lists the following "church" positions:


Apostles: Sent ones, foundational leaders in the early church (Ephesians 4:11). 

 Note: This is CRITICAL to understand in this dispensation of the Church of Philadelphia. There ARE NO APOSTLES today. Repeat: THERE ARE NO APOSTLES today.

The Apostolic Age ended with the last disciple of Jesus Christ - John's death.  

IF you hear someone say they are an Apostle - RUN!  You're dealing with a NAR agent.* But before running away from them, REBUKE THEM SHARPLY to the face.

* agent: (n) one who acts, performs and sets in motion the "works of signs and wonders" given to the early church. 

To encapsulate the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) apostasy and related studies please read:













Prophets: Those who speak God’s messages (Ephesians 4:11).

Note: Thee spirit of prophecy is the only gift functioning in this church age. However, it is often abused and always abused in the Church of Laodicea.  Please see related study links:


Dreams Visions and Signs Let's talk frankly dear Saint


Evangelists: Preachers of the gospel, spreading the Good News (Ephesians 4:11).


Note: Most do NOT know the Gospel but use the word freely.

















Pastors: Shepherds of the congregation, overseeing and guiding the flock (Ephesians 4:11).

The Hook of the False Shepherds Hebrews 10:25 and 26 Forsaking the Assembly - Sinning Willfully After


Teachers: Instructors in the faith, providing doctrinal teaching (Ephesians 4:11).

James 3:1

“My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.”

King James Version (KJV)



Bishops: Overseers or elders, responsible for supervising the church (1 Timothy 3:1).

Case Study on How much the Devil HATES the King James Bible


Deacons: Servants or ministers who assist in various church functions (1 Timothy 3:8).

Case Study on How much the Devil HATES the King James Bible


Elders: Senior leaders in the church, often synonymous with bishops (1 Peter 5:1).


The KJV Bible provides clear guidelines for choosing elders, primarily found in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9. 

Here are the key qualifications:

1 Timothy 3:1-7

Blameless: Above reproach in conduct


Husband of One Wife: Faithful in marriage


Vigilant: Watchful and alert


Sober: Self-controlled


Of Good Behavior: Respectable

Titus 1:5-9
