 7. PAULINE DIVERSE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY vs. MINISTRY TURF

++ The Pauline Vision for a Diverse Christian Community

In Paul’s teachings, we see a distinct contrast between a diverse Christian community and the dangerous concept of “ministry turf.” The Apostle Paul was deeply invested in fostering a community where all members, regardless of their backgrounds, social standing, or gifting, are valued and empowered in their roles within the Body of Christ.

One of the most powerful expressions of this community model comes from Ephesians 4:1-4, where Paul encourages the Church to “walk worthy of the calling” and live in humility, gentleness, and patience. This spirit of humility and gentleness forms the bedrock of Pauline community, where relationship is prioritized over position

1. Ephesians 4:1-4 – Unity and Relationship in the Body of Christ

Paul’s letter to the Ephesians emphasizes unity, shared calling, and mutual respect. Here, he writes:

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.” — Ephesians 4:1-4 (KJV)

This passage speaks to the importance of unity in diversity. Diverse people, with different gifts and callings, come together as one body in Christ, making it clear that no one person or ministry is to be elevated above others. The emphasis is on cooperation, shared purpose, and mutual submission, not on personal ambition or territorial ministry.

In a Pauline community, the emphasis is on relationship (walking “worthy” of the calling), and collective growth rather than individual aggrandizement or ministry turf protection.

2. Common Doctrine as the Foundation

The unity Paul talks about in Ephesians 4:1-4 is grounded in a common doctrine—the truth of the Gospel. Doctrine becomes the unifying factor in the Body of Christ. It’s not the personality of the leader, the style of worship, or the territorial boundaries of a particular ministry. It’s the shared truth about Jesus Christ, His life, death, and resurrection, that brings believers together and helps them focus on the mission.

Paul’s letters often emphasize the centrality of sound doctrine to protect against divisive practices or the elevation of individual ministries above the Body of Christ. In Ephesians 4:5-6, Paul writes:

“One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” — Ephesians 4:5-6 (KJV)

This common doctrine serves as the foundation for the unity of the Spirit and is essential for the diverse Church community to flourish together.

3. Call for Oversight, Training, and Equipping Leaders

Paul not only encourages unity in diversity, but he also appointed leaders—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers (Ephesians 4:11)—to equip the saints for ministry. These leaders are tasked with training others to walk in the same humble, relational community Paul described, equipping them to serve, not control.

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” — Ephesians 4:11-12 (KJV)

This is Pauline leadership: leaders serve to equip and train others to carry out the work of the ministry. There is no “turf” or “dominance” in this model—just the shared responsibility of building up the Body of Christ. Leaders aren’t to be viewed as “lords over the people” but as servants who empower others to live out their calling.

4. Paul’s Vision of “Community” vs. “Ministry Turf”

The community vision laid out by Paul in Ephesians contrasts sharply with the top-down, hierarchical model seen in the “ministry turf” mentality. Here’s how these two models diverge:

• Community Model:

  • Leadership is shared and servant-focused.

  • Leaders are equippers, not controllers.

  • The focus is on relationship and building each other up.

  • Gifts are acknowledged and honored regardless of the person’s role or title.

  • The goal is mutual growth in Christ, not personal aggrandizement or turf-building.

• Ministry Turf Model:

  • Leadership is authoritarian and often exclusive.

  • Leaders may view their ministry as their “kingdom”, leading to competition for loyalty and control.

  • The focus is on building the leader’s ministry over the welfare of the Body.

  • Personal charisma or title is often elevated over spiritual maturity and servant leadership.

  • The goal becomes maintaining the leader’s authority rather than fostering the growth of the Body as a whole.

5. The Call to Equip, Empower, and Serve Others

Paul’s teachings consistently emphasize that leaders should equip others to walk in their calling, both through training and by modeling servant leadership.

The Ephesians 4 model underscores the role of leaders as servants—to train and build up others, not to “own” or “control” their people.

Paul also emphasizes the importance of diversity within the Church. It’s not just about leading “one type” of person or group; it’s about serving all and equipping them to serve. Leaders train people to train others—to multiply and make disciples, creating a community of servant-leaders who embody the humble, relational leadership modeled by Christ.

This process is collaborative and relational, where everyone works together to build the Body. As Ephesians 4:15-16 says:

“But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” — Ephesians 4:15-16 (KJV)

Each believer is essential to the Body, and each has a role to play in the building up of the Church. This is Pauline community: shared responsibility, mutual respect, and a focus on growing together in love.

++ Summary: Community, Unity, and Service Over Turf

In contrast to ministry turf and a hierarchical approach, the Pauline vision for the Church is about mutual respect, servant leadership, and a shared calling to build up the Body of Christ. This involves equipping others, not controlling them, and creating a community where all believers can grow, serve, and minister according to their gifts, not their status.

By embracing this model, leaders fulfill their biblical role: equipping others to carry out the ministry in a way that glorifies God and builds His Kingdom, not their own.

“Mutual submission in the fear of the Lord” St Paul Ephesians 5:21 Servant apostle

The Call to Address Spiritual Patriarchy and Control

This article is a biblical, firsthand diagnosis and correction of spiritually authoritarian trends—especially those seen in Western European-style Levitical Patriarchy (WELP), NAR movements, and city-gate-style apostolic hierarchies. These top-down structures—while often well-meaning—conflict with the model of mutual submission and spiritual equality found in Jesus’ and Paul’s teachings

1. SECTION 1: Biblical Foundation of Authority – First Church Model

** Ephesians 5:21 (KJV)

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

** Galatians 1:1–2 (KJV)

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ…)

** Galatians 6:1 (KJV)

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness…

**  1 John 1:7 (KJV)

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another…

+ No hierarchical priesthood. No domination. No spying on others’ walk. No covering requirement from other humans—just Christ alone.

 2: Jesus and Paul’s Non-Hierarchical Leadership

• Jesus taught servant leadership (Matthew 23:8–12).

• Paul was not sent by a group but called directly by Jesus (Gal. 1:1).

• First Church was about community, shared leadership, and apostolic teamwork, not authoritarian rule (Acts 13, Acts 15).

 3: Modern Distortions in Church Authority

** W.E.L.P. – Western European Levitical Patriarchy

• Dominated by top-down male-only control

• Spies on and diagnoses people from afar

• Forces women to be “under” male-led systems or deemed “unsubmitted”

** PSYCHIC MANIPULATION  NAR – New Apostolic Reformation**
**down at the bottom, grass roots, not saying the top founders do it..or do not. Not in their league, But I deal with the warfare fruit in the ministry rising leader, lay “conformist’ hearsay adept “Grass Roots”

Teaches “Apostles in the Gates of the City”

• Imposes layers of hierarchy and “covering”

• Promotes turf-watching and elite oversight—often without personal relationship

• Targeting gifting versus proper First Church “relationship respect” in the holy fear of the Lord (No I John 1:17/ Pauline Galatians 6:1, Matthew 18:15-16, men or women Revelation 2 “when they “think” they have another “Jezebel”
• Lost first love vs being excellent precise in multi talent and gifting (Obsessed with it’s self (however their is still a loving holy remnant, that is not “a respecter of just a few pet persons’ elite spirit.

**AUTHORITY Shepherding Movement (1970s–80s)

• Taught extreme submission to human leaders

• Created soul ties, control, and fear-based loyalty

• Influenced modern Charismatic “prophetic protocols” and spiritual elitism

** MEAN: Misuse of Apostolic Titles

• Today’s apostles often act like CEOs or regional monarchs

• Jesus and Paul never required blind obedience to a person

• Paul rebuked Peter publicly when needed (Galatians 2:11–14)

 SECTION 4: Cultural & Historical Roots of Control

• Many of these ideas have inherited DNA from:

  • The Inquisition / Malleus Maleficarum (witch hunts)

  • Salem Witch Trials (spectral evidence and gossip)

  • Early Appalachian religious legalism

  • Southern USA’s post-slavery power dynamics

These “ministries” often target outsiders, women, prophets, and apostolic leaders who do not conform.

 SECTION 5: Discernment vs. Divination

• Real discernment (Hebrews 5:14) is based on Holy Spirit fruit and truth.

• Fake discernment is often just divination + suspicion wrapped in spiritual language.

• Paul never modeled divining strangers. He built relationships, visited churches, and operated in humility.

 SECTION 6: Pitfalls in Worship and Fine Arts Movements

• Beauty and giftedness often attract envy, people-pleasing, and wannabe culture.

• These movements are vulnerable to celebrity worship, competition, and subtle bullying.

• Root issue: Top-down authority replaces Christ’s headship and 1 Corinthians 13 love culture.

 SECTION 7: Real Authority vs. Cult-Like Control

 SECTION 8: A Call to Leaders – You’re Being Misrepresented

Top Christian leaders need to realize that:

• When you demand others be “under” you,

• And your followers claim your name or title,

• They can abuse others in your name—even if you don’t endorse it.

This brings shame to Jesus’ name and taints your own legacy.

 SECTION 9: Women and Expat Leaders: Standing Without Fear

Women called by God are not “out of order” just because they’re not covered by patriarchal systems. Like Lydia (Acts 16), Deborah (Judges 4–5), and Priscilla (Romans 16), women can be:

• Leaders, teachers, apostles, businesswomen, and prophets

• Mutually submitted, not under authoritarian men

• Called by God, not man (Galatians 1:1)

 SECTION 10: True Biblical Covering and Fellowship

Covering = Christ
Accountability = Mutual Respect
Fellowship = Relationship

Hebrews 10:25 (KJV) says:

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together… but exhorting** one another…**

*NOT FIERCE PEER PRESSURE, LP EXTORTING, CONTROLLING OTHERS

Isaiah 56:7 speaks of a house of prayer for all nations, not just for insiders, elites, or “those under my authority.”
