I am amazed at the number of people who will spend thousands of dollars to fly across the world to witness to people but they won’t walk into a local church they consider to be theologically liberal to do the same. Imagine a missionary saying “I left the mission field in Egypt because the Muslims didn’t have a proper Biblical view”.
Well, in all fairness to ZGuy and Westbrook, I would have done the same but I’ve been lucky to meet xzins on this board to know Methodists better. I also used to dismiss Episcopalians the same way, but learnt better. FR can really help you learn.
> “I left the mission field in Egypt because the Muslims
> didn’t have a proper Biblical view”.
If you feel called to be a missionary to the apostate church organizations, then do it. I do not believe that I have been blessed with that calling. Suffice it to say, the Lord has blessed me with another calling that may be even more challenging.
Meanwhile, the closest I’ve come to what resonates with my understanding of “church” can be found in this online book.
