The New Testament specifies local church meetings as the environment in which disciples are built up (edified) and trained “for the work of the ministry”. According to the New Testament, the local churches are themselves the Bible training centers, seminaries, Bible colleges, etc., that equip disciples to continue the Gospel ministry of making disciples, baptizing them, and training them to observe all things the LORD Jesus commanded His immediate disciples, Mat 28:18-20. And this purpose is fulfilled by following the instructions and examples the Lord Jesus and His Apostles. Nowhere does the New Testament permit this role to be usurped by another organization.
Eph 4:11-16 KJV 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
