serving w/o membership

[Tom Butler]

When we signed up on the Baptist Board, we agreed to abide by the rules. We are now members, and subject to the discipline of the Administrators and Moderators if we get out of line.


But we had to sign up first in order to express our opinions and vote in the polls. Our names are on the roll. We are members. gekko, you're a member. No membership, no participation.

Why would you not want to commit to a congregation for which Jesus shed his blood, suffered and died? Why would you refuse to enter into a covenant relationship?

Please don't take lightly what Jesus died for.

yeah... but you can have forums where you don't need to be a member. i've created a couple myself. and anybody can participate in them - just have to provide a name.

Why would you refuse to enter into a covenant relationship?

i'm not refusing it.
i'm refusing to call it membership.

i'm not arguing whether or not i should become a member.

i'm only asking what's more biblical - to let christians serve regardless of "membership" or not?
