I was thinking of the new style terminator in "Terminator 2." Smack him real hard and he oozes back together.

Obi-Wan would say that’s not very Christian

(sprinkling or pouring is permitted in cases of physical disability)

2. Provide a public profession of faith before the church

3. Completion of church membership class

4. Agree to submit to the teaching of Scripture as expressed in the church’s doctrinal statement (“What We Believe”) and constitution.

5. Have a Hebrews 13:17 attitude towards church leadership

Commitment to serve in a ministry of the church

Financially support the church (as able)

Attend members’ meetings and vote either in person or by absentee ballot

An individual shall be received into the church by recommendation of the Elders and by majority vote of the membership at a church meeting. Following approval by the church membership, the right hand of fellowship will be extended by the elders in a worship service or members’ meeting.

The church membership roll is maintained by the Church Clerk. At every annual members’ meeting, the Church Clerk must read aloud members added, transferred, called home to be with the Lord, and removed before the congregation.


I became a member when this church was a local independent Baptist Church. Do you think I should remove myself from membership if I don’t agree with each item in the above section?

I don’t.

No one here takes your piety for righteousness. It’s almost laughable.

You mistaken knowledge for piety. It is laughable.
No one here thinks your ignorance is funny.

I thought it was over? of course it’s not over your religious piety consumes you. It’s all you have in life. And it will be all you have. Sad, sad little man

Me, too.
Your ignorance got the best of me.

What do you think? You need one more shot at me because you're too ignorant to actually discuss religion in a religious thread?

I have no issue with churches having this kind of list. As a matter of fact, I wish all churches would have a list for all to see. Having said that if you have a big enough issue with the particular path of this church, then it may be time to move to another, and with no doubt let them know exactly why you are leaving

I've always thought a good "constitution" for a church would be the Bible. But, that's just my humble pious view.

Oh, it is. doesn’t mean your definition or you view the context is the right one.

A good close.

I always thought being a good Christian man actually trying to be like Jesus doing the things Jesus did instead of just quoting them. But why do I know?

 

[rickyb]

As I have noted the Church of Christ imo has its issues. But they do strive to worship the way New Testament Christians did. We don't have authorization to do whatever we like so people should consider whether what they're doing is ok with God. If you feel it's ok to have a band in your worship service or you can't do without an organ then that's between you and God. I'm happy to hear a Capella singing.

You bet religion has its problems!

 

[BrownFlush]

woo..there you go again.
I'm not allowed to have a definition of what I believe is the right one?
Why have a thread? I mean, if everybody is right in whatever you think...The church of Integrity

 

[BrownFlush]

But why do I know?

Nothing

Your opinion is just like your butt hole. Everyone has one. Yours is just smellier than most.

So, Jesus never called out false teaching?

 

[Thebrownblob]

You’re not Jesus. Your discernment and credibility are garbage so really no need to listen to you on these matters. The racist, memes I’ll definitely look to you. You got the market cornered you’re the best at it.

I retired two and a half years ago to a small rural community and have yet been able to find the right church to join out here. For now we are with the one we moved away from. Have been with them for 15 years
