The church we attend does not have a membership roll. I have considered suggesting to the pastor that we start one. Would like to hear your thoughts about membership rolls. The pros or cons (if any) Recorded Sermons @ www.pastorwiley.com

I am pro membership as long as membership actually means something. If I can be a member of your church and show up once every couple of months,no thanks. If I can be a member and not be held accountable in my financial support,no thanks. If I can be a member and subscribe to an assortment of doctrines,no thanks.Way back in the day when I was a clerk,the S.O. called me to tell me to have 2 membership rolls available before he took the vote for our new pastor. Unbeknownst to the members who were present,only tithe paying members votes actually counted. That was when I started wondering if membership matters. Anyway,it does to me “Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”

In a Presbyterian style of govt. The avg. COG govt has no incentive for membership. Your vote is non essential to how decisions made so why join?

Dun007 I liked that comment. The latter part is very important to the young marrieds and the seniors. One of my fondest memories was as a member of the Biloxi, MS COG. My wife and I still look at that time like FAMILY TIME.Over the years COG people somehow thought they owned their church and felt their votes actually counted and neither was an actual fact. Now the younger members know more, and it does concern them. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
