Three Kinds of Actions

// March 20th, 2010 // Bible Study, Mark's stuff

By Jesse Jenkins

Benchley, March 14, 2010

• Individual actions
  • James 1:26-27 – Each is judged individually in these actions.
  • II Corinthians 5:10
  • I timothy 5:16
  • III John 6-9 – Gaius and Diotrephes contrasted.
• Collective action
  • Preach gospel:  approved
  • Recreation:  not approved
  • Each individual is only responsible for what he contributes into the common funds.  If the funds are not used in an approved way, all are responsible – not just the elders.
  • Philippians 4:15-17; I Corinthians 16:1-2
• Concerted actions
  • Individuals acting in concert, such as in the Lord’s Supper, prayer, Bible study, and giving.
  • Each individual is approved or not according to whether he takes part worthily or not.
• Judgment is going to be individual, not congregational, but to be approved, individuals must participate in the three kinds of actions in approved ways.
