I realize that there have been a few threads dealing with schism, and when it is proper to leave a church, but I really need some interaction at this point.
A true church has been defined as on that:
1. Preaches the true gospel
2. Administers the sacraments rightly
3. Performs church disciplne
How far off can a church be on these three, before seperation is necessary? For example:
1 - A ten or fifteen minute sermon?
2 - Grape juice instead of wine?
3 - No discipline for memebers who attend mass and other atrocities?
What about blatent violations of the RPW? What if the vows you made during membership agreement are no longer true, and you can no longer fulfill them with good conscience?
