May we proclaim this truth not only within the confines of a building where Christians regularly meet, but upon the air of world which begs to know the truth outside.

Maybe my response is out of date. If so my apologies. You may disagree with my thinking but here goes: The church (as I see it) are those who believe in JESUS as THE MESSIAH. The Church (as I see it) is not a group of people claiming a status in a thought or a union in a thought. The Church (as I see it) are those who follow Christ in all that THEY do regardless of where a Church may lead. I believe that claiming an inclusive membership of any organized church is vanity and/or a pride issue. Those who claim Christ in heart,deed and thought will recognize that truth. A membership in GODs family is not brought about by our decision. It is brought about by HIS choosing us not us choosing HIM. We as a species are a prideful self-centered group. In the established Church we offer an opportunity for salvation even though we do not have that right. Our instructions were to go out making disciples. Disciples are those who have denied any claim to authorship, knowledge (apart from HIM), or need (apart from HIS provision). The established church teaches just the opposite. The Health and Proserity message is seperate from the WORDS of JESUS. Gold and Silver do not compare with the treasures (knowledge,wisdom and understanding) of Heaven. The Organized Established Church offers healings of physical health but not emotional and/or spiritual worth. The Organized Established Church offers material prosperity but not knowledge, wisdom or understanding of which they cannot give. The Church that JESUS is building is filled with those who reject the treasures of this earth and seek (by HIS authority) neither riches of wordly possession nor health that will provide eternal life but that which will stand for all eternity, "Knowledge" ( of HIM and HIS) which gives "Understanding" of what HE is doing and why, and "Wisdom" which directs us in a closer living intimate relationship with HIM. I do not desire to offend you but simple to call your heart closer into that relationship with HIM. Living in the box of man ordained protocol is no different then kicking against the stones.Protocols are those rules which The Organized Established Churches (any) have layed down before you to close your mind to the possibilities that GODs has for us all. The Free Choice you believe you have is a choice only between GODs total control or your limited control. It cannot be any other way. Dan, I didn’t see a date on your bog.
