| 7: | The office of Elders, pastors and bishops The church we read about in the Bible was organized in a very simple way. A general pattern was to have 2 or more qualified men overseeing each local congregation or church. These men could be referred to as the "eldership". Each man must meet several high qualifications which the Bible lists in two passages. Elders are the spiritual leaders of a congregation. They also watch out for the souls of the members like a shepherd. Christ is the head of every local church. There is no human head of the church. The Bible is the only written creed for each local church, rather than a man-made written creed. Each local church is autonomous and self-governing. No outside interference from others. No organizational tie between local churches. No organization larger than local churches.

| 20: | The Apostolic Fathers believed man-made creeds were tradition ... The "Rule of faith" (creeds) of the early church was the scripture itself. By 180 AD, oral and written creeds began to come into general use. It is important to note, that these creeds were based 100% on scripture, and 0% on oral tradition. For Roman Catholic and Orthodox defenders to refer to these creeds as proof of an oral tradition in the early church, is as unscholarly as it is deluded. Between 180 - 325 AD, there were many different versions of creeds and none universally accepted. In 325 AD, the Nicene Creed became the first creed that was considered universal law and equal to the Bible. Indeed, the authors of the Nicene creed stated that every clause and phrase was based directly upon scripture. As time went on, more creeds and canons were produced, but they became less dependant upon scripture.
