Church Administrations And of Operations

1 Corinthians 12
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

There are times when a Christian needs to give some thought to his church.  What is it? How should it operate?  What are the requirements for membership?  Who is responsible?  What tasks need to be accomplished?  Who should accomplish such task?  And a Christian needs to give some thought about how he or she should contribute.  Above and below is just a little background for consideration.

There is little said in the Bible regarding the organization of churches, though there is nothing written to oppose it; and, since an organization is not in view, there is nothing written in the Bible as to membership in organized churches. The Bible emphasis is upon the true Church and that membership which is formed by the baptism with the Spirit.
