- There are three forms of church government in the US today (plus a fourth form that is just a combination of two others). All of these forms cannot be right.
- Universal concept: Pope and Catholic Church
- Universal oversight
- Universal treasury
- Universal work
- Brotherhood concept: Southern Methodist Conference and Southern Methodist Church
- Brotherhood oversight
- Brotherhood treasury
- Brotherhood work
- Local concept: Jesus Christ and churches of Christ
- Local oversight
- Local treasury: I Corinthians 16:1-2
- Local work
- This is the only one authorized!
- Brotherhood + local church concept: Southern Baptist Convention and Baptist Church
- They claim only this: local oversight, treasury, work
- But also have this: brotherhood, oversight, treasury, work
- Baptist Hour and Buckner Children’s Home
- Some brethren have tried to copy this concept.
- Herald of Truth and Bole’s Children’s Home: both operated by a sponsoring church arrangement
- Universal concept: Pope and Catholic Church
