The Bible provides not only the teachings and principles of faith, but the Bible demands practice, actions and deeds. The modern Church we see today struggle with theological significance in the distinctive order, pattern and traditions of the apostolic church. We must realized, that there must be knowledge and training about the early church. This early church was very community minded. To fully understanding the true life of New Testament church, we must share the life of this church which includes such distinct items as the pattern, the structure, the order, the teaching, such as celebrating the Lord's Supper often, even feet washing, door to door ministry, etc. The emphasis of this church was full fellowship, interrelationship, interactive in church services. The churches were all decision-making by the local leadership with consensus of all; pastors and elders providing spiritual guidance to congregations and cooperating in a body of churches, networking in autonomous house churches. Each church body of ministry is separate in its call, burden and outreach for Christ. The New Testament Pentecostal, Apostolic ministry and tradition, found exclusively in the pages the New Testament church writing (Acts of the Apostles); this church from the very beginning expresses and practice the true work of the ministry as left to them by their Master. A Ministry of understanding their Mission to the World.
