1 | Where does membership come from? | NT general Archive 1 | jalanlambert | 123257 | ||
EdB, Thanks for your thoughts. I will consider your points regarding the Govt, and legal aspects of the local assembly. Also the ability to vote on important issues. However, you know that if the committment you spoke of is caused by some obligation to the church or a desire to please someone in the church, will not be serving God but man. They will still be selfish and self centered regarding the Lord, only now it is better disquised because they have conformed to the Church standard. This is a dangerous practice, because we can lose our focus and become member in good standing just taking up space feeling pretty good about ourselves. Jal | ||||||

Jal Absolutely! That is the difference between being a member in name only and true member. Isn't that the case with Christianity also? We can be a Christian in name only or we can be genuine. What the world needs is genuine Christians and genuine members of churches. EdB |
