Accept no substitutes. Religious organizations who make rules and then call themselves “the Church” are not adequate to take the place of the authority of the Word of God. This is why an organization that wants to control people will prohibit them from knowing, reading and studying the Word of God. Rules, doctrines, dogma, canons and so forth must match the Word of God. If they do not, then the organizations that teach them are in error. The Word of God is the final authority. It is the highest authority. The Word of God is God. It is our guideline for living. So, is Church membership okay? Of course, as long as that Church preaches the Word of God. If it does not, bail out and find one that does. The Word of God makes one free, free to choose the truth.
