Just a few thoughts on church membership:

Membership is an act of commitment. There are numerous benefits to membership.

1. It identifies a person as a genuine believer (Eph. 2:19; Rom. 12:5)

Hi Wes,

Thanks. I think those are some excellent points. I really appreciate the Scripture references too.

I do have a question about point 1 though. I'm just a little concerned about the "genuine" comment. I think we would agree that not all church members are "genuine believers". I think we would also agree that there are some genuine believers who aren't church members. So, I guess my question is how does being a church member identify one as being a "genuine believer"?

Thanks,
John
