The pastor went to them again, they finally married, but it was really a tough thing on the pastor as you can imagine. I feel in alot of churchs the pastor would have turned a blind eye to it to save himself the embrassment and trouble. The hard stand is exactly that hard. But that was wrong and they needed to be called on it.

That is really neat.

So you are not a member of any certain denomination? Who established the doctrine?

And another post goes into the void. Never mind. Wasn't that important n-e-ways. Pinging myself so I don't have to wend my way through the posts I've already perused.

I belong to and Independent Fundamental Baptist Church. All their doctrine is based on scripture. There are IFBC's all over and they pretty much share the same beliefs, but some are more liberal, some more legelistic. We feel the one we belong to is moderate. Independent churches are under no authority except the pastor and memebers who attend. When we get large enough that the pastor can't handle all the needs then we will elect Deacons to help him. They will have to qualify according to the qualifications in the bible (1-2 Tim. Titus). Pretty simple as it was meant to be:)
