The primary source of disagreement in the religious world is a
departure from the New Testament pattern given by the apostles,
with churches relying instead on opinion for authority in religious
practice and doctrine. By abandoning the apostolic original
Christ's church has been left behind, producing today's debate and
division. The only way to achieve the unity Christ prayed for is a
return to the pattern He gave through His apostles. What is that
pattern, how is it gleaned from scripture, and how is it applied in
the 21st century? Rogers shows that by letting the Bible speak for
itself, employing the same methods to interpret scripture that were
used in New Testament times, a clear set of expectations emerges: a
blueprint for the church's faith, practice, and purity. All who
follow it will stand shoulder to shoulder with the first-century
Christians: teaching for doctrine only what they taught, organizing
as they were organized, and worshiping as they worshiped. The
apostolic pattern is thus a blueprint for Christian unity, the only
ground upon which everyone may stand with complete assurance that
all they do is pleasing to God.
