1 | One Pastor and one assembly? | Acts 2:42 | kalos | 175075 | ||
Hank: You have given a good answer. Also, consider this: If everyone went church hopping, there would be no churches to hop to. Also, if no one believed in joining a local church, there would be no local church. Often common sense is an uncommon virtue. Grace to you, Kalos |

Hi Kalos, I am glad you joined in this discussion...I value your input. If you read my note to Hank, you understand that I think we are too hung up on the definition of Church. What book, chapter, and verse of the bible teach us to "join a church"? When you become a Christian, you become the "church". The early church were "church hoppers" (if you only understand it in that vernacular)...they "hopped" from house to house.Acts 2:46 One of the problems we have living the Christ-life is teaching for doctrine the traditions of men, Br. Kalos. I don't want to have "common sense" when it comes to this Christ-life...I want wisdom, divine wisdom. God said He would give it to us liberally according to James, the Lord's brother. Grace and peace to you also, my brother, Bereaniam |
