Nope, I'm a Baptist. The first link has a bunch of guys calling themselves Reverend ( This board has a few as well) Anyone who has the need to make another call him Reverend......
The second one is for church of Christ.
As a Baptist I don't understand why someone would need to join one of these. -

Is there an echo in here?
I've never heard of of some of the microdenominations that are the nine 'constituent members' the first outfit nowadays:

According to Wiki - The ACC :
membership is specifically denied to those who have affiliations with
the World Council of Churches (WCC) or any of its affiliates, such as the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.(NCC), the World Evangelical Fellowship (WEF) or any of its affiliates, such as the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), the modern Charismatic Movement, or the Ecumenical Movement...
I am surprised that the NEA is listed in the "Black list" for the ACC -
According to Wiki - "Ralph Colas currently serves as Executive Secretary" of ACCC. [Salty, note it's three Cs]
He died in 2015! -
I would say - wiki needs to be updated
The ACC* states the Executive Director : Pastor Dan Greenfield founded the Orwell Bible Church in Orwell, Ohio in 2005. A graduate of Pillsbury Baptist Bible College (1993) and Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary (2000), he and his wife Trisha are parents of six children, of which the oldest three are married.
