Biblical Church Government – Part 5

The constitutional system required by the Holy Scriptures themselves, is known as that of plurality of Elders.   In Old Testament times, God’s ancient people in each place had many Elders.   Exodus 3:16 & 4:29 & 12:21 & 18:12 and Deuteronomy 21:20 and Proverbs 31:23. The same is seen in New Testament times, in Acts 4:5-8 & 6:12 & 13:15.   And also in the Christian Church, Acts 11:30 & 14:23-27 & 15:2-6 & 20:17,20,28 & 21:17f and Philippians 1:1 cf. 4:15f and Titus 1:5 and Hebrew 13:7,17,24 and James 2:2 & 5:14f and First Peter 5:1-5 and Revelation 1:11 & 2:1 & 4:4f,10 & 5:8 & 7:11-13 & 11:16 & 19:4.
