Lesson 12: Autonomy: What is the relationship of this church to other churches and association?
We believe that autonomy of the local church: The local church is completely self-governing and not subject to any external control, even choosing the level of external influence to which it will expose itself. Five Biblical expressions of autonomy: • Arbitration: Matthew 18:15-17; 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 • Appointing church leadership: Acts 6:1-7 • Missions: Acts 13:1-3; 14:26-27 • Discipline: 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, 12-13; 2 Corinthians 2:5-7 • Accountability: Revelation 2-3
