Question:
By attending meetings of Christian Fellowship (CF) at college, in a way it’s supporting what the members are doing…should we not be a part of CF?
Answer:
The Scriptures tell us that each believer is a member of an organization called “the church”: “the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved” (Acts 2:47). It is also called “the body of Christ” (1 Corinthians 12:27), and each believer is to function in that organization “for the edifying of the body of Christ” (Ephesians 4:12).
If CF is an organization seeking to represent anything other than the whole body of Christ, what Scripture do we have that tells us to be a member of it? We are not under law, but the Lord’s grace constrains us to make each decision with the desire that Christ be glorified in our lives, and He is glorified by obeying His Word.
