    >Fundamental/Evangelical churches do place a major emphasis on not just attending church, but actually getting involved by use of their gifts from God !


    Preaching to the choir? But is that the evangelistic pitch? Does it go on the reader board?

    In other words, not mere attendance at, but membership of, a local church.

    Yes, as My pastor also asks to have us be members and active in services with the use of the Gifts God granted us to use!

    Trying to make the point that if the concern was attracting non-believers and not simply stealing members from other Christian denominations then we should advertise the local church as useful and pleasant way to kill one's Sunday morning.

    We hold to the church being where God is worshipped, and where the saints are trained up, and where the Body interacts and prays/edifys each other!

    Isn't that a pleasant and useful way to spend a Sunday morning? Or is it doing a good work?
