Subject: Joining a Church?

Bible Note: Hello Mark, Are we not already a part of that, I attend Church. I am not just saying I don't want the responsibility I just want to know what is expected of you as a memeber to a non member? I already worship the Lord, and will help anyone around me or be a witness to others. I just don't unnderstand the process, I get the replys that this is what makes the church that I love going to is the members and I understand that, but I am trying to make a point not a arguement that we are all part of God;s family when we except Jesus Christ into our hearts, and we the people are one in the body of Christ. I realize that this may sound that I am trying to get out of my duty's as a Christian to become a member to this Church I am not, I just feel that it is a big deal and it should be pray about and God should lead us and be in any decission we make concerning these matters. There are to many people that joins a church and might not stay in that church no longer than 6 months and leave and join another. I don't want that to happen to me, I take is very serious and its to me like a marriage certificate you don't just go get divorce after divorce even though that too goes on these days and times,There is nothing to it to get a divorce. I just want to better understand my role in the whole church joining things, and what is expected of me. Yes I could just do the simplier thing and go talk with my Pastor about the issue I just wantted to try and get some insight from others that may have had these thoughts and feelings about this issue of joining a church. Thank you so very much for the reply, May God Bless You..
