1 | Visit other churches? | Rom 16:16 | EdB | 33971 | ||
Charis Because our church does not have Sunday evening worship I often visit other churches. Most are Assemblies of God, but in the last 5 years I think I have been in just about every authentic denomination with the exception of the Church of Christ and an Amish church. I have felt welcomed in all, however the Baptist were a little worried I might give a message in tongues :-). In fact I have had the privilege of being part of the service in many different denominations. I always try to identify myself to the Pastor as a visitor being from AoG background and no one has thrown me out yet. I love the aurora of genuine holiness found in the Orthodox churches (including Catholic I might add), the Bible teaching in Baptist and full gospel, the freedom of worship in Pentecostal, the dogmaticness (is that a word?) of the independents, the familiarly of the mainline (Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian), the fellowship and closeness of the Mennonite and Brethren. If only all these assets be combined into one church, there would be no stopping it! However I visit not to shop around but to learn. I think a person should find where God wants them and plug in. Too many are using their shopping list in hunting for a church instead of using God’s list. I think it was Makarios who mentioned we should be where God can use us and to this I agree.

To all I meant to say 'aura' not 'aurora'in the second paragraph. Mind in neutral, fingers in gear, makes for interesting word usage. Blushingly EdB |
