Membership
in the Church
Membership
in the Church According
to the Bible, one does not simply join the church. God adds people to His
church when they believe, repent, confess, and are baptized into Christ.
The church is the body of Christ. Christ is the head, and the individual
believers make up the members of His body.
Acts
2:47
|
...And
the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
|
Ephesians
1:22,23
|
And
He put all things under His [Jesus'] feet, and gave Him to be head
over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of
Him who fills all in all.
|
Ephesians
4:4-6
|
There
is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of
your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father
of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
|
Ephesians
5:23
|
...Christ
is head of the church;
and He is the Savior of the body.
|
1
Corinthians 12:12-28
|
For
as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of
that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by
one Spirit we were all baptized into one body -- whether Jews or
Greeks, whether slaves or free -- and have all been made to drink
into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many.
If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of
the body," is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear
should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the
body," is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body
were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were
hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the
members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. And if
they were all one member, where would the body be? But now indeed
there are many members, yet one body. And the eye cannot say to
the hand, "I have no need of you"; nor again the head to
the feet, "I have no need of you." No, much rather,
those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable,
on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have
greater modesty, but our presentable parts have no need. But God
composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which
lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the
members should have the same care for one another. And if one
member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member
is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now you are the body
of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these
in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers,
after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps,
administrations, varieties of tongues.
