[James C. Bennett]

The key phrase there is ‘assembly of the Lord’ ~ does not equate to heaven in my study Bible rather worship services...

You throw a person out of "worship services" for no possible fault of his or hers, and then expect the same person to attain salvation. What then is the use of the said "worship services" or even the congregation if salvation can be attained outside of it? What use are congregations, or churches, even, in that case?

What use is the prayer for the sick...if you are already "saved"? Why go through the motions and not just let God's "will be done"?
