Marylin,

Naturally you have me dwelling on this.

How about the following ideas:

Can you frame your customs so that you avoid these downfalls-

1) If the disciples are expected to give money to their mentors then
that looks terrible, and the gospel is being used for gain - mucho bad

2) If the mentors ever usurp the roll of God in the disciple's life then that is bad.
Examples:
- must get mentor approval to be guided by God to do something
- must get mentor approval w/r what God showed them
- must get mentor approval to adopt a new conviction - silly example: to not say "Gosh darnit" anymore
- must check in with mentor at a certain interval
- must have a mentor to be saved or be right with God or right with the church

3) If being a disciple is not optional then that is bad. Example: if
someone opts out of the disciple network are they punished? -
punished by God or the other believers, rejected by God or the
other believers, less in fellowship with Christ? or peer
pressured that they must be in the disciple network?

====================================================

If you have a layered system of believers it is certainly EXTRA-Biblical but
that does not mean it is UN-Biblical.

Say we all developed a "memory club" wherein we all memorize a list of
verses and then take turns calling each other up and reciting the verses.
It is fun to do something with others, we are learning verses, and we are
motivated. Win. Win. Win. This is EXTRA-Biblical but not UN-Biblical so
why not? Enjoy. We have freedom in Christ.

Same for a layered system of Biblical fellowshipping. As long as UN-Biblical
things are not happening then why not? We are free in Christ.

why the signs and wonders are missing. Something is wrong.
