CORE
CORE stands for a Congregation of Recorded Elders
Congregations of the early Church were nothing more than free assemblies of families who came together seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness. They were Congregations or what might be called Free Assemblies of Elders. Those Elders mentioned in the Bible were nothing more than the head of each Family. An Elder was not an office of the Church appointed by Christ but the natural office of Husband and Father to God's basic form of government in the kingdom, the Family, because the Kingdom of God is from generation to generation.[1]
They sought to practice Pure Religion by taking care of one another through faith, hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty without using any of the benefits offered by the world of Caesar or any other authoritarian Benefactors.
At Pentecost the heads of families being Baptized began to form a network by the free elders of each family gathering in small groups of ten who picked ministers to serve their needs in society. This was the Church and together they naturally formed the Church in general.
Those ministers chosen by the people were to gather with other ministers like themselves to form a national in an international Network of people who loved their neighbor as much as they loved themselves.
This gathering in the name of Christ, because they gathered in His love, formed a peculiar people who lived in the World but not of it. Christians lived by their faith in Christ and in His way of caring for the Daily ministration, not by force but by Fervent Charity and Sacrifice of love.
Modern Christians have followed another way, not of Christ.
It is time for repentance.
