The method matters to God. Believers and churches should use only those methods in the Word of God as directed by the Spirit of God, not, for example, business methods, in doing God's Work. That way He, not a man, builds a local church. "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it:" ~ Psalm 127:1a

Acts 5:3-4
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

Luke 12:10-13
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
I Corinthians 2:9,10
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
