| According to the historical and biblical evidence presented in the book Thy Kingdom Comes the Church in the wilderness and the early Church were organized in patterns of tens as Christ commanded. |
| Within those free assemblies of tens, there were Elders and Ministers, Deacons and Priests, overseers or Bishops, and like the Levites, there was a peculiar non-authoritarian Hierarchy who were the benefactors of a free society. |
| This Election, Acceptance, Recognition and Assignment of the Church form weaves the Breeches of ministers, like the people of Israel were supposed to do for the Levites. It is like a letter of credence[1] from the government of the people. |
God has always used the testimony of witnesses to establish something as true.

Election, Acceptance, Recognition and Assignment of the Church
The most important form used by His Holy Church to record the edification of the Church is the Church Election, Acceptance, Recognition, and Assignment form.1 It has been simplified to one page, but evidences a complex, legally recognized set of relationships that are based on the precepts of first century Church. It is the intent, spirit, and precepts expressed by this multipurpose form and supporting documentation that are essential for the establishment of the free Church in the eyes of the world.
We have been given the biblical precept of establishing all things with two or more witnesses.2 The form is simply an outward sign used to testify and express these sacred bonds of trust, faith, hope, and love that form the identity of the Church. The form is a sign and beginning of the Church in the world.
A congregation of people should agree in consensus as to who shall represent Christ as His minister. This may begin with two or more families in agreement. As the early church gathered in groups of tens, hundreds, and thousands,3 they formed an intimate network of free congregations that was the Church.
God calls and appoints the minister, but the people must give a witness to that calling so that the world may recognize the truth of it. The evidence of this belief is an Election and Conveyance section of the form. At the same time, an offering of present value4 is contributed for Christ’s purpose into the hands of the minister of their choice as a consummation of that recognition. This token is an expression of their faith, intent, and election of a named individual as a minister of Christ.
If the Minister accepts this sacred office of trust, this contribution to Christ, he should then fill out the Acceptance of His Sacred Purpose Ministry section of the form as evidence of that credence.
Finally, the form must be presented to an Ordained Minister of the Church who has been separated from the world according to all the requirements of Christ,5 who will act as the servant overseer of the Church.
Information about the electorate of the congregation should also be submitted6 to that chosen Overseer so that he may serve their needs. Certified copies7 are returned to the minister. He is expected to continue with at least an annual report to the Overseer as to the activities of the Church.
The Church is a system of charity, faith, and hope, under the perfect law of liberty. The ordained ministers and overseers are benefactors who do not exercise authority, one over the other. They are supported according to their service.8 The kingdom of God is about choice and the exercise of divine discretion by those who are served according to the hearts and minds given them by God.
There must be an ongoing nurtured relationship of congregation, minister, and overseer to maintain the unique status of the Church in the eyes of God and the world. These precepts and relationships are manifest in thousands of ways, and are the foundation of an ancient system of voluntary government taught by Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, in order to set men free - and maintain that freedom under God . There are extensive resources available from the Church to assist in the biblical pursuit of liberty.

The Free Church Report
The Free Church Report presents a unique path for the modern Church according to the nature of the first century Church by explaining the duty and purposes of that institution appointed by Christ. While Rome declined under runaway inflation, corrupt government, martial law, and endless threats of war, the Christians found an alternative to the men who “called themselves benefactors but exercised authority one over the other.”
The early Christian knew rights and responsibilities were indivisible. They sought the right to be ruled by God by taking back their responsibility, through the service of “called out” ministers who lived in the world, but were not of it. Their government benefits came through a divine network instituted in their hearts and minds by faith, hope, and charity under the perfect law of liberty as their Qorban of the unrighteous mammon failed the Roman society.
