Or to put it on other terms -- more descriptive, while running the risk that they might be MISinterpreted -- when you mix dirty water and clean water, you end up with dirty water.
(And if that's too coarse for anyone, then let's go straight to the source, i.e., "a little leaven leavens the lump.")
It's one thing to "invite unbelievers to church" -- it's something entirely -- entirely different -- to embrace them as integral members of the fellowship. And that, from what I can ascertain, is part of what's going on.
Again, it makes great marketing-sense -- but it ain't "church".
I agree completely with that.
To have a say in what goes on in the church you must be a member of that church. Not just go there, not just give money, you must be saved by grace, confess your sins, and be accepted by the church body.
Even if you have the first two, if you don't have the third you're not a member of that church.
You may be a member of THE church, the body of Christ, but you're not a member of THAT church.
If you're not saved by Christ, you're not a member of a church.
