Also, do you require a church, or is it more of a personal desire to have one?
The only thing they had was james 5:16 "confess your sins one to another." When I confronted them with the contextual meaning of the verse their only response was, this is how we do it here, and then proceeded to establish themselves as a direct line to God. (What we say is what God wants.)
It was at that point I was able to seperate the biblical worship of Christ from the religious traditions and ceremonies found at that church.
I personally need a church. I get far too complacent/lukewarm without the checks and balances found in a fellowship of like minded believers.
