can you direct me where in Acts 22 that Paul called on the elders?
If the elders were the authoritative leaders of the assembly why did Paul not address all his letters to them?
Here are my original questions still unanswered
1. Where does the NT speak of church offices or an institutional church as opposed to an assembly?
2. The only way I see elders anointed in the NT was by the Holy Spirit or an inspired preacher, So where is the method of getting men in this official office today?
3. Where in the NT did a man or group of men make a decision for the assembly separate and apart from "the whole assembly" ?
I apologize. I should have said Acts 20, not Acts 22.
Also consider the classic passage in Ephesians 4:11,
"And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,
Eph 4:12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; "Some see this as "He gave some to be apsotles, etc." meaning that the gift was given to some men to be apostles.
Others see this as the gift of the apostles to some churches, while to other churches He gave the gift of prophets, etc. In this case it is clearly an office or a function that is the gift to churches.
I tend to agree with this second interpretation. It seems to better fit the context. Note the interpretation given in the ESV:
11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,
12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
