Elijah the prophet spent a lot of time living alone in the wilderness. Was he a Christian? It depends on whether or not you have a State Church. That's a 501 (c) (3) church - controlled and limited by the IRS, just to be exempt for money purposes. Read it. A 501 (c) (3) church is a corporation acting as a church. It's a business entity, and all its people are fooled into thinking that it is a church. On the other hand, a 508 (c) (1) (a) is a church with a number to use as a banking tool or wherever an EIN is necessary for operation. The difference? A 501 is exempted, but under IRS authority to remove the exemption if it feels that something was done wrong. A 508 is "EXCEPTED," entirely outside of IRS control. There are ways for a 508 church to use corporations, trusts, LLCs, CORPORATION SOLEs, etc., to get around any problems from not being a 501 corporation. http://www.theultimateinassetprotection.com/?ref=SWC
While I totally agree with Solomon in his statement, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil," etc., you need to be careful with the things that Solomon says. Solomon was wise, and shrewd. He wrote what God wanted him to write for the benefit of God's Kingdom. But go through Proverbs and Ecclesiastes and see how many things you can find that might benefit an earthly king. Solomon was writing much of it for benefits to his kingship, as well.
