- Abstract
This article analyzes four fundamental principles found in Acts 2,42. It is observed that the practice of these principles contributes to the church fulfilling its mission and purpose with balance. The principles presented are: biblical doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer. Churches are stagnant or in declining generally fail to make these principles as central to their practices. This article demonstrates that the practice of these principles pervades all biblical history and has been the hallmark of Christian meetings. However to rescue the practice of these principles only by imitation trying to transpose to this moment of history would be a sterile anachronism. However, studying them as a means of drawing content and methods adapted to this time is a facilitator for the growth of the local church and for advancement in missionary work. And finally a biblical summary of the importance of practicing these fundamental principles is presented so that a local church is healthy.
