The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum The Suicide of a Denomination

Confessional churches follow the protocol of 1) being sent by an established biblical church by the resident elders, the individual having been examined in matters of doctrine and life, and often 2) receiving a call from a group that is desiring to form a new congregation. In these cases the new work is under the oversight of an established congregation/denomination. Non-confessional churches are infamous for having individuals establishing new churches sometimes on a whim with no oversight nor accountability.
