David Devenish on Restoration in Practice

"So we are committed to a Restoration of New Testament doctrine and practice to the Church. Hence we stand together for the truth of God as against legalism. We believe that every member has a contribution to make in terms of service within the church, towards the community and during worship. Worship is not to be dominated by a band any more than it was to be dominated by an organ and a set list of hymns. We are to expect the Holy Spirit to intervene in all our meetings with gifts distributed as He chooses. We do not believe in clergy/laity distinctions but relational servant leadership with the anointing of God as described in Ephesians 4 giving the gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelists and pastor/teachers".
