Rowdy, I appreciate your comments and your understanding of the Word of God. I believe that your goal in answering on this subject is to help. Thank you for that. The place that I differ with you is regarding the need for registered members of the local church. You said that it is important for us to be an active part of the local assembly, and devoted to a hard bunch of christians. I couldn't agree with you more. However, why would I need to do anything more? What is it that requires my name on some church roster. If I am already doing Gods will for my life and active in the church ministries, why would God ask me to sigh on to something that I have already committed to? The problem I see with mans membership is that it can't add one thing to bring glory to God or the furtherence of the Gospil that the born again christian can't do withoout church membership.

I can only suggest your re-reading all of my posts on this thread. You seem to have missed my most important bottom line conclusion. The way I see God's Word, He doesn't give us an option. Either we become a part of the actual devoted, hard working christian we know we should be or we might not make it to Heaven. It's my conclusion that if we're not fruitful in the "Lord's vineyard," He'll cut us off as being unproductive and cast us in the everlasting fires of Hell. I do hope you'll continue studying and praying on this subject. This is NOT just merely important...it's crucial to our salvation. God bless. --Rowdy |
