Subject: Where does membership come from? |
Bible Note: kalos, I will agree with the scripture you have posted, and the others posted on this thread regarding the believer being a member of the body of Christ. ( 1st Corinthians 6:15 )However, I believe we are members of the body of Christ when we are saved from our sins. Kalos, show me how you transition from being a member of the body of Christ to being a member of a local church. Also, my intention is not to do harm to this forum, but to learn. I learn best when I am shown concrete, not abstract. If Gods Word in the Greek refers to my being a member of the local assembly as opposed to being a member of Christ please show me. I would like to learn this principle if it is true. If you refer to the early church as being members, show me how that membership is different than being a member of the body of Christ. And what are it's qualifications, and how do they differ from our being members of the body of Christ. I am not the enemy kalos only trying to learn. Jal |
