But giving is a matter of free will. The question is , are payments in the local church today free will giving or are they some sort of salaried, contractual arrangement. If it's salaried like the denominations then it would be hypocritical. If it is free will giving it is not hypocritical in my view, there is a clear difference.

Sorry Evan G. it is unfortunate that all you seem to know is book knowledge, not from the Bible books, but from Nee's and Lee's books.

I know a dear brother who quit being a full-timer and reentered the workforce in a sales commission job. He told me that he felt he was now serving God and living by faith more than all his time as a full-timer.
