In Episode 162 of Theology In Particular, I'm joined by Dr. James Renihan to discuss the ecclesiology and polity expressed in chapter 26 of the Second London Confession and to make a case for congregationalism from the Scriptures.   Contact: For information about International Reformed Baptist Seminary, go to irbsseminary.org.

The clear answer to the title of this message is that Christ is in charge of a local church. But the question remains regarding where you see Christ's authority in the church today. There are three ways we see Christ's authority in the church today: Christ's authority is contained in his Word, confirmed by his congregation, and conveyed through his shepherds.

The United Pentecostal Church International Manual, the handbook by which UPCI churches and ministers operate, notes that the organization practices a "congregational form of church government." What does this mean? More importantly, what does the Bible say about church government? Dr. David K. Bernard looks to the New Testament for clues on how churches should be organized, operated, and led, and how it compares with the leadership structure of the UPCI and its member congregations.For more information on this topic, see Dr. Bernard's book The Apostolic Church in the Twenty-First Century, available at PentecostalPublishing.com.
