| | What The Bible Teaches |
 | | To be the Church of the New Testament, we must be added to it in the same way those early disciples were (see "Regarding Salvation"), we must teach the same doctrine they taught, we must worship in the same manner they worshiped, and indeed we must follow all the divine patterns they followed. |
 | | The Bible teaches the "collection for the saints" must be gathered only once a week, on the first day of the week (the Lord's Day), according to the divine pattern given to the Church at Corinth and the congregations at Galatia (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). |
 | | The Bible teaches that these funds are to be utilized for the work of the Church, for the support of evangelists, elders, and widows indeed, and for the assistance of needy saints (1 Corinthians 9:14, 1 Timothy 5:3, 17-18, Romans 15:26). |
