1 | Where does membership come from? | NT general Archive 1 | jalanlambert | 123232 | ||
You speak as if I don't believe that we need church membership that we are somehow going it alone and have no checks and balances. I attend a local assembly that has memberships, however I choose not to belong to this Club with its rules. Isn't Gods order for the Church enough? Must I play the game of being accepted by the Church body because I tell them that I want to belong? I don't think so. Why must we call ourselves members of something that we already have membership in. Is the local church membership a better one than the Lord as given? It is entirely mans effort to control.

Thank you, I am believe what you believe. I attend regularly, give, donate, and volunteer but I will not "join" a local church when I have already accepted the Lord's salvation through God's awesome grace. Who is man to add these extra conditions? All believers are joint heirs with Christ Jesus and adopted children of the Most High. Going to membership class has absoluterly no bearing on that fact. | ||||||
