I think with this, this is why many of my peers and I, "joined the church" at a young age. My daughter has accepted Christ and is about to be baptized by Assembly of God (AoG) and I specifically asked the question about church membership. I am happy she accepted Christ but didn't want her to go through with Baptism just because her friends did just so she could call herself a member. AoG doesn't allow for church membership until a minor turns 18. As I told her youth pastor, I wish that was the policy where I had grown up. I may not have done what my peers did just because. I am saved now but I know things now that I didn't know at 8 years old.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134143779763240356.post-91570183385093301262013-06-08T18:26:43.725-04:002013-06-08T18:26:43.725-04:00I am interested as to what scriptures do support t...I am interested as to what scriptures do support the two issues together? (baptism and church membership) I am in total agreement with you just very interested in what you see as supporting scriptures for the two being tied together. Looking forward to your answer.

I think we make the two issues into one. But I can see how that could be a problem for some people.
