The Church of God: What it Means to Belong is unavailable, but you can change that!

What does it mean to belong to the church of God and what are the privileges and responsibilities involved in membership of a local church? Don Fortner sets out the importance and the essential elements of public worship. He examines the qualities required in the pastor, elders and deacons, the nature of their work and the way in which the church should support them in that work. He then proceeds...

publicly unite with one another in local churches (Acts 9:26–27; Rom. 16:1–2). A local church is an assembly, or congregation, of believing men and women united to Christ and one another in love. A local church is a society of saved sinners, knit together by the Spirit of God. According to the pattern laid down in Acts 2, three things are necessary for membership in the church of God. 1. The person must hear Christ preached (Acts 2:14–40); 2. He or she must believe the gospel and trust the Lord Jesus
