What church should a believer join?
All Christians (except church planters) in the New Testament story were part of a church in their town that taught salvation by faith, repentance from sin and immersion in Jesus’ name. In some towns, such a group must be searched out. In others, a group must be started. A part of our times is individualism. In the New Testament, such individualism gave way to being a part of the body of believers in each town. The entire book of Ephesians stresses the primacy of the body of believers – the church. God did not intend for His people to do their own thing, to run their own ministries while being disconnected from a congregation.
