Yes, I call my gathering a Bible study, for the sacraments we bring ourselves together with a congregation.

What is everyone's opinion on what a christian should do if there is not faithful church in the area?
Is home church an option?
I read the first article earlier this morning. Excellent! I'll try and read the 2nd one later today.Originally posted by webmaster
If your church does not outwardly exemplify these six areas, then it is not a place that Christ is building as His church. Remember, its not your church, its Christ's.

Even the confessions talk of the fact that there's no perfect church on earth. Where should the Christian draw the line when it comes to membership (whether maintaining it or seeking it) at a church that doesn't exemplify these six areas (assuming that the Christian is doing their part, as described in the first article)? Some churches are good in some of the six, but lacking in the others. Others appear to be lacking in most, if not all, of them. To what extent should the 7 letters in Revelation be used as a guideline for church membership (some of those churches were pretty lacking in some areas)?

I think you need belong to a local body.
Is there no body at all that has the **marks of the church** within driving distance? A church can be pretty far out and still meet the bare requirements of the marks of the church.

I agree with Adam. If your looking for the perfect church, you're not going to find it 'til you get to glory! Trying to start a church plant is an option but that usually will take a while to set up. But you need to get with a church that may not be all you want but will do in the meantime.
