SIX KEY INGREDIENTS OF EVANGELISTIC CHURCHES
 
1.  THERE MUST BE ACCORD / UNITY  
Acts 2:1 "When the day of Pentecost came, they were all with one accord in one place."

2.  THERE MUST BE AUTHORITY AMONG OUR LEADERS
Acts 2:14 "Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd."

1 Peter 5:1-2  "To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder.  Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care."

3.  THERE MUST BE AN ALLEGIANCE TO THE WORD OF GOD
Acts 2:15-16  "These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning!  No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel."  

4.  THERE MUST BE ACTIVITY OF WITNESSING
Acts 2:32  "God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact."

5.  THERE MUST BE AN APPEAL TO BE SAVED
Acts 2:40  "With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."

John 4:28-30  "Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 'Come, see a man. Could this be the Christ?'  They came out of the town and made their way toward him."

6.  THERE MUST BE THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE FOR ADDITION TO OCCUR
Acts 2:42-47 "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43  Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44  All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45  Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46  Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47  praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
