Do I have something better to replace it? Absolutely!! Some have done it already, oneness, holiness churches, and have running them without tithing; based totally on free-will. See my previous posts for examples.
The Apostles are elders, but not all elders are apostles. The Bible makes a distinction depending on the context. Just to give you an example:
[ Act 15:6 NKJV] Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter.
Brother, we are not being ridiculous, or stupid, or just bringing negative criticism.

How long have you had no full time ministers? Are they self employed? If Sister Foofoofnick goes to the emergency room, and Brother so and so has an issue can they leave the job to take care of that church buisness? How long were you full time before you started to do what you are doing now? How long have you been taking care of your comgregation? What issues have you faced while you been working your secular job plus bringing in the sheaves? Do you have a building or is it house church?
