Another poster told you that none of what you described sounded like conservative churches of Christ, even though that one claimed to have 2 services one each for conservatives and liberals. I concur with what he said.

There is no way that THAT represented anything but a church CALLING itself the church of Christ, and there was nothing “conservative” about the so-called conservative service either, oh, well, except perhaps when you compared it to their liberal version...maybe. But not conservative in the sense of true churches of Christ who actually are conservative.

No TRUE church of Christ would divide the congregation up that way and offer something to appease different tastes. A true church of Christ would have elders and ministers who would do what they believed the Bible taught was right, and if some members didn’t care for it they would be told to feel free to go elsewhere. For you see, such a practice in a congregation is NOT BIBLICAL.

The church that I spoke of eventually imploded and the preachers were sent packing.

Since each church is completely autonomous unto itself, I would be very interested in knowing what a TRUE CoC is, and how I could judge it.
