Lol, I see what you are saying, especially since it could have the potential to carry out the incorrect association with what the word "member" means in a biblical context.<br /><br />So we probably do agree more than we disagree here. <br /><br />I also do not like the way people many times use the word "member."

Many churches also have hundreds of members, and most of them dont even regularly attend, which isnt how it should work either (that is meaningless and poor understanding of membership). When I talk about church membership, I am not talking about a name on a roster somewhere. <br />Alissa:Adventurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264990678663466541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879989728890132379.post-23359114289434554482011-05-14T14:48:37.793-04:002011-05-14T14:48:37.793-04:00I would say no for me,I actually don't like a ...I would say no for me,I actually don't like a lot of the attributes of membership at a "church" they can be misleading. we are all members of the church if we are followers of Christ. while I don't see it as wrong to be a member of a church body,I see it as throwing out the larger picture, and to be honest membership doesn't mean a person is serious about their faith, anyoneNate Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879989728890132379.post-379429879643377862011-05-14T11:26:02.259-04:002011-05-14T11:26:02.259-04:00What a good story!What a good story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
