Paul tells us that we are to follow the traditions as laid down by the apostolic example. But what constitutes apostolic tradition?
I will begin by saying that the primacy of spiritual life and anointing in church leadership is upheld in that tradition. In our time a lot of people won't even know what that is...seeing we have strayed very far from apostolic tradition so as to embrace other traditions...that come from men.
Leadership in the church is to be by example...an example of a crucified life...and a spiritual witness of Christ. The idea of learning ABOUT God rather than a direct relationship with God is the result of the great apostasy that has overtaken the churches in modern times.
Apostolic tradition is unlike any other tradition that has been created by religious people trying to do things FOR God. Apostolic tradition is GOD Himself running the show.
A direct connection with God in intimate relationship is a necessary prerequisite in order to stay in keeping with apostolic tradition.
