1 | Church membership scriptural? | Heb 10:25 | Messiah'schild | 169287 | ||
I do understand (and agree with) the importance of the body being gathererd together. I was searching for scriptures that are specific concerning church membership. Is there anyone that can provide any scriptures in reference to my question? | ||||||
2 | Church membership scriptural? | Heb 10:25 | BradK | 169289 | ||
Dear Messiah'schild, You can search all you want for scriptures concerning church membership and you won't find them! There are simply no such scriptures my friend. I know because I too sought the answer to that question at one point:-) Nobody will be able to give you any different answer, sorry. I hope this helps, BradK |

3 | Church membership scriptural? | Heb 10:25 | Messiah'schild | 169291 | ||
Thank you BradK. I truly appreciate your frankness. Someone I know is troubled, because they were told they could not be used in the ministry unless they were a member of that church. I thought the concerned should be one being born again instead and believing in being a light for the world to add to the body of Jesus our Lord and Savior. |

4 | Church membership scriptural? | Heb 10:25 | BradK | 169292 | ||
Dear Messia'schild, Sorry about your friend. It sounds a little more like the doctrines of man than what the Word teaches. Churches differ widely on their membership "requirements". Some, like ours simply have the person or family step foreward at invitation time and acknowledge their desire to join. Others, have an almost Corporate HR approach whereby you go through an interview(s) process and are formally accepted (or rejected) by their Board. The only Biblical requirement to be a member of the Body of Christ is to be a born-again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
