    Is Official Or Formal Church Membership In A Local Church According To Scripture – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 3, 2025
     | 404 views

    Formal church membership that involves special membership and voting rights is contentious. In this Part 2, I open up the matter to show how out of sync the matter is with the membership of the one Body of Christ, and the discrimination. We delve into some scriptures to bring this out.

    IS OFFICIAL OR FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE – PART 2 In Part 1 we looked at the practice some churches have of there being an official local church membership that divides “members”, adherents and attendees into “MEMBERS” and “NON-MEMBERS” depending if one has ...read more

    When Peter was in prison, awaiting what appeared to be a sure execution, the church prayed without ceasing for him and Peter was set free by an angel of the Lord. Powerful things happen the church prays.

    In the text, we find something taking place that seems to be missing in many churches today – that is church folk praying for church folk. In this particular case, a church member in trouble. The Apostle Peter is on death roll and all petitions to commute his sentence have been exhausted. ...read more

    Ephesus had many commendable qualities. Yet almost without notice the church began to slip and lose ground. It was not what they were doing that was the core of their problem. If they were to go forward the church needed to return to where they once were.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 30, 2026
     | 71 views

    Part 3 continues with a Christian who has sinned and fallen into sin. What is the way of restoration to God? Does a Christian lose salvation for sinning? We look at David, at a poem, at man’s belief in grading the intensity of sin. What about disobedience and sins bypassed?
