James Oh examines the nature, foundation, and order of the local assembly as a living organism rather than a physical structure. Drawing from Matthew 16:18, 1 Corinthians 12:27, John 12:32, John 4:24, and Acts 2:42, Oh explains that the local gathering centers strictly around the Lord Jesus Christ and is governed by the Holy Spirit without human interference or prescribed orders. He details the Greek grammatical tenses—aorist, perfect, and imperfect—in Acts 2:42 to illustrate what it means to continue steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer, emphasizing that corporate gathering is an ongoing, uninterrupted practice under the Spirit's direction.
