KJV Luke 22:25-26the representative of the king receives the same Benifits as the king and it resounds to and terminates in the king!
Lk 10:16
He who hears you hears me...
John 13:20
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Jesus is building the church by and through the power of the Holy Spirit. No one saves themselves and neither does the church save anyone, only by God's grace are you saved and that is by and through the power of the Holy Spirit.no only Christ builds the church Matt 16:18 I (Jesus Christ) shall build my church!
not built by the HS but peter and the apostles are governed or lead by the spirit Jn 16:13 Jn 15:5
While I love my Bible and indulge myself in it daily I also talk to God and with other people about God and the things of God when I have the opportunity. I most definitely do not adhere to Sola Scriptura in the strictest sense. I believe that without the quickening of the Spirit what we read in and hear from the Bible is dead. It is as the dead flesh of Jesus hanging on the cross before his Resurrection.If 2 Timothy 3 proves the sole sufficiency of Scripture, then, by analogy, Ephesians 4 would likewise prove the sufficiency of pastors and teachers for the attainment of Christian perfection. In Ephesians 4, the Christian believer is equipped, built up, brought into unity and mature manhood, and even preserved from doctrinal confusion by means of the teaching function of the Church. This is a far stronger statement of the perfecting of the saints than 2 Timothy 3, yet it does not even mention Scripture.

25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
