As taught by Timothy O'Day.
Why is church membership necessary for the Christian and not merely helpful? Because of the following reasons.
Discipleship is following and becoming like Jesus
Membership in a local church is the way Christians...
Make union with Christ public
Protect the unity and purity of God's people
Submit to the Lordship of Jesus
3. The church, then, is the primary context of discipleship
It follows that we should be intentional in discipleship by having meaningful membership in a local church.
