I'll do you the favor of not accusing you of "not getting it" simply because you disagree with me, and instead assume that you might actually have a valid reason for understanding the text differently from me.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Ok, this thread has literally gone from zero to 80-something while I was sleeping, so I've only read a little of it. Sorry if this has been answered already.

As an adult, I have only belonged to churches that practice "believer's" baptism (C&MA and Independent Assemblies of God). Neither those, nor (AFAIK) most other credo-baptism churches consider it necessary for salvation. Neither consider it necessary for "membership." (Those churches rarely even mentioned "membership." I'm not sure it even existed.)Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

There was a Baptist church about 90 miles from me where the "membership" was about 40 people, and they had a nice church building. Another nearby congregation of another denomination began systematically sending people to "join" that Church, and there were no safeguards in place to prevent sufficient new 'members' from joining such that the "new people" reached a majority, and voted to change the Church's name and denomination and install their own pastor.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
