I lead a new church plant in an old church building. I was looking to add our info to your church finder, but I'm sorry, I can't figure out your web site. You have lots of information and it is very confusing. Help!

I agree with you John for what you wrote is the truth. However, my comment comes with this warning for some:
2 Peter 3:16
As also in all [his] (Paul the Apostle's) epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
My experience in what you called "Brethern Churches" was very much like what I quoted from you at the top of the page. I have a lot of respect for various people I met in those "churches", as I have for born again, saved, godly, Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Methodists, etc. Here is [URL=http://www.truthandtidings.com/issues/2011/t20110601.php]]] something[/URL] connected to the bulk of this comment.
Brother,
Now you and I are talking the same lingo, and I am right glad to see it. There is but one "church" in the world, as far as our Lord is concerned, and that is the born again, saved, people. You could call them Jesus People if there was not a cult going by that title. But the best biblical title is "Brethren", especially because Jesus is not ashamed to call us brethren.
This "church of Jesus Christ" ought to be one, not only as they are all "in Christ", but also meeting in the same building.

Brother John, I have had experience with several "churches" including what you called "The Brethren churches" and "the Open and the Exclusives". I have had good experiences and bad experiences in regard to my three quotes from you in this paragraph. I haven't been in what you called "Brethern churches" I think for over a decade so, I trust no one will think I am a shill for what you called "Brethern churches."

Since those days I have attended at many different churches, some of which were most helpful, some of which were not. The Brethren churches, of which there are two main strands, the Open and the Exclusives, impressed me greatly in their church government, their simplicity, their reverence, especially at the breaking of bread and, in the earlier days, of their evangelistic fervour. Reformed Baptist churches also impressed me with their doctrines on salvation, and their emphasis in preaching on Christ rather than man. Certain charismatic fellowships impressed me with their joy and spontaneity, but the Lord told me to come away from them because of false doctrines, false conversions, and their acceptance of certain spurious experiences like the "Toronto Blessing". Other fellowships, like a community church impressed me with their high aim after holiness, but then the gospel was never preached, and so I had to leave that one.
The sort of local churches I have to choose from leave a lot to be desired. And no, I shall not be returning to the Baptist church I attended today, although I have some tales to tell concerning my visit that really cheered me up. For eg. the text preached from:
Dopey wrote: John my brother, ...........

Hello Bro David
I suppose I had better explain, hadn't I?
With christendom being so complex, with fragmentation and schisms galore, it is not so easy for one converted "outside" the visible church from the world to decide which church he should attend. I was in this very position when I was saved by Jesus, so I asked the Lord where to go. He directed me to an Evangelical Free Church where he was working in a mighty way, saving souls regularly, and energising the preached word to the great benefit of the congregation. As I began to learn doctrine, I discovered the church was constituted with a statement of faith called the 1689 Baptist Confession. This became my church for over ten years, and I attended all the meetings and was involved with door-to-door evangelism and open-air witness in the town centre every Saturday. It was a glorious decade.
Perhaps what I will have to say will be helpful on the page:
"Helping and Promoting the Local Church in Many Ways"
I see John that you said:
"ordination is not a biblical concept or practise. Sure, godly men should be able to recognise the spiritual gifts given to a man who feels himself called to minister, and this is what happens in the Brethren churches. The only reverend in their assemblies is God."
I see that you also said: "being churchless at present, I also have grave decisions to make, which could mean a move eleswhere. On the Lord's Day I am planning to attend Penuel Baptist Church for the first time, and I know not what to expect. "
It seems to me in my first quote from you that you seemed to describe a kind of "church" you liked but in my second quote from you, you seem to be talking about possibly moving to a Baptist Church. If you care to elaborate further on the seeming conflict it would be appreciated.
I'm curious as to why in doing a church finder search, that two churches are not listed that teach the Word and are minutes away from my location? Both are non-denominational and have 3-5,000 in their congregation as well.
Sermonaudio Gang! "Awesome" Work Your doing for the Kingdom! Everytime I log in to the site! I get blown away! But I envy the news papers, that they get such a cool tool to use on their websites, and all the free trafic? Wish I were a news paper Company! That wigget sure would look nice on our Ministries website!
All churches listed in the Local Church Finder are FULL (broadcasting) members of the site. For more information please visit the [URL=http://www.sermonaudio.com/services.asp]]]About Our Services[/URL] section. Thank you!
I would like to know how I might be able to add our Church here in Lakeville to your Church finder. We are a Reformed Baptist, family integrated church with many homeschoolers. Thanks and God bless!
