Never has the church been as spiritually strong as it was then. This type of living would never work today because we have too many carnal Christians. And, notice, the Lord did the adding to the church. The worship of both the Hebrew temple and the pagan temple was characterized by prescribed forms and activities and by pre-determined content performed by specially selected individuals. We all know that worship is conducted in a special place in a building or a space set aside (consecrated) for a particular purpose.
