Think Neil Cole's "Organic Church" but with more theology and a better documented set of cases. Not only that, but it really highlights the role of the modern day apostle/apostolically gifted individuals within the role of the New Testament church and the body as we see it. I'm a firm believer that house church and sweeping church movements that are very unhierarchial and untraditional will be the way of the west.  It's just the nature of Christ to rebuild His bride with unconventional means, especially in our postmodern world of today.-Paul Chris, buddy, you gotta read “The Forgotten Ways” by Alan Hirsch. It’s fantastic.

Too many reformed believers refuse to learn from anything newer than the WCF, which is quite in opposition to the spirit of those who wrote the WCF.
