1. Doctrinally strong.

4. Central office for communication purposes only.
5. Regionally themed to promote voluntary fellowship.
6. No corporate fundraising programs whatsoever, each church would give to the ministries of their choice.
7. No periodicals. All communication via internet or newsletter.

What about a system for ministerial accountability??? How should it be structured?

It must teach:

Oneness
Acts 2:38 for full salvation
Discipleship
Gifts of the Spirit
Post trib
Resurrection of the dead=Soul Sleep
Eternal Judgment=Annihilation of the wicked

That the goal and expectation of every Christian is to consistently overcome sin and live a holy life, abiding in Jesus and his doctrine.

Let God be the judge of all. He is good at knocking down the liars.

I could go along with this... Due to past experience I would add that there must be an effective method for restoring ministers who have fallen.

I would recommend a system of a board of elders to whom each pastor is accountable.
