You see, Claud, I do not belong to an org, I belong to the Ekklesia which JESUS is still adding to and whose members may be found all over the planet biding their time in many orgs which work to support the org AND the members of the org, as they are convinced to do. That is why there can be such a broad spectrum of doctrines yet only ONE EKKLESIA. Join the EKKLESIA and it will have an impact upon which org, but not on your having been born from above, Saved in the here and now, awaiting the gathering together JESUS is soon to proclaim.
