Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
How should the Ekklesia be structured or governed? How did Jesus treat His followers? Which model of the many churches is correct? Do we follow the examples set in the Old Testament? How do we resolve various conflicting views on biblical topics?
Because our understanding of God the Father and His Son is so important and foundational, we should be careful how we build on this foundation, but especially where we encounter differences of interpretation of belief and practice. The instructions and principles we should consider are found in Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 14.
Government is authorized by God for the protection, benefit, and peaceful existence of human society (Romans 13:1- 5; 1Peter 2:13-15). But these purposes and objectives cannot be properly achieved unless they are led and administered by righteous, just, God-fearing people.

James 1:16-18 NKJV
Do not be deceived, my brethren.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
