I would suggest that there are certain components which must be part of any assembly which would call itself a biblical \u201cchurch.\u201d\u00a0Without these you cannot have a church:<\/p>\n

  2. Baptized in demonstration of their conversion<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Recognizably covenanting together<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Regularly meeting around God\u2019s Word<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Under legitimate leadership<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Administering Baptism and the Lord\u2019s Table<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
