Why “Sponsoring Church” is Unscriptural!!! ~ Not found in Scripture (2 John 9)! ~ Violates Autonomy of each church (1 Pet. 5:1,2)! ~ A Human arrangement! ~ Destroys Independency of each Church!

~ Destroys Equality of each church! ~ Denies the Sufficiency of the local church – Views the local church as a member of the general church!

Whole Equal to Sum of Parts! Local Church Elders Members Work Resources Discipline Worship Sponsoring Church What part can a church surrender to another church and have its whole?

~ Church Cooperation is authorized in the New Testament! ~ But not the “Sponsoring Church” (Centralized) kind! ~ Can a church give all its resources and work to a sponsoring church? Why not? ~ Is it important to follow God’s Pattern on every Subject?
