Subject: Church membership scriptural? |
Bible Note: 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 |
