Let me start off by saying I ABSOLUTELY believe in all saved to be an actual member of a church and not just merely attending church…
Now for my question, is church membership explicitly taught in the scriptures or is church attendance acceptable? I ask this as I am not sure if the scriptures teach it is. I know that church attendance is essential, but is membership essential, too? I’d say yes, but I don’t know where I can find proof it is.
What I mean by this is do truly saved ppl have to have their name on a local church membership roll?
TIA
