Fellowship with Believers
Fellowship is not just eating and talking with fellow believers. I think in our current church cultures this is the extent of what we understand as fellowshiping with believers. Most churches even have a large meeting area with a kitchen attached named for this action. But according to the Wycliffe Bible Dictionary, these actions consist of Biblical fellowship:
1. Communion or fellowship together at the Lord's Supper (1 Cor 10:16-21)
2. Membership in the church (Matthew 16:18)
3. Giving (1 Tim 6:18, Heb 13:16)
4. Ministering to the saints
- Relief funds for other churches (Acts 11:29)
- Help Christians in need (Romans 12:13)
- Sharing other people's burdens (Romans 15:1)
