How easy should it be for a Baptist church to accept a new member.

[JesusFan]

One church i know recently accepted someone who believes in reincarnation

They never vetted her

I tried to tell them

How you handle those holding to word of faith, or wanted to bring in charismatic gifts?

They dont join. At my joint, we have a questionnaire and interviews

We also require strict background checks for those involved in children and teen ministries

Here in the UK, the state requires strict background checks to be made for anybody intending to become involved with children or teens, not only church work with children and teens.

Would you want someone who drove a bus to be made an airplane mechanic on a plane you would fly on without instruction. Did any job you had make you president without knowledge of that company? Simply common sense.

Well lets see - In the Army, I was trained in General supply --- at one point, I was selected to be a supply inspector for unit supply. That would be like saying - I am a jeep mechanic - but I want you to inspect tanks!
I had a friend who was a chopper pilot - right when he got out - he became a manager of a connivence store. Not exactly similar jobs.

and I am sure there are many who have taken jobs of very different skills!
