The Duties and Privileges of Church Membership
1 - Why Church Membership?
Matthew 18:10-20; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27
Six reasons some are sceptical of the notion of church membership:
Why the Church?
a) What is the Church ?- Matthew 16:13-18
- Matthew 18:15-20
b) The Marks of the Church - Doctrine
- Discipline
- Distribution
Why Membership?
Church membership is everywhere assumed:
a) Jesus in Matthew chs 16, 18
b) Jesus in Revelation chs 2, 3
c) The Book of Acts
d) The Epistles- Addressed to churches
- Teaching about the church
e) Evangelism in Matthew 28:18-20
f) Authority in the Church - eg. Hebrews 13:17, 1 Thessalonians 5:12, Acts 20: 28
g) Choosing those in Authority in the Church- Elders: 1 Timothy ch 3, Titus ch 1,
- Deacons: 1 Timothy ch 3, Acts ch 6
h) Discipline in the Church - Matthew ch 18
- 1 Corinthians ch 5, 2 Thessalonians ch 3
How Membership?
- Covenant membership and baptism: 1 Corinthians 12:12-13
- Covenant membership and the Lord’s Supper: 1 Corinthians 10:17
Covenant fellowship with God, Christ… and “us” in the church: 1 John 1:3
