How Does One Get Into the Church Christ Built?

The individual who complies with the conditions that God gave will be added by God to the church for the same process that makes one a Christian adds him to the church when done from the heart. Only God can know whether or not one truly believes in Jesus from his heart. Only God can know if a man has repented from the heart of his sins. These things being true a man can by all appearances go through the steps essential to salvation but God only knows the sincerity of the heart. I cannot add you to the church even if you by all appearances seem to meet God’s qualifications. Since I cannot know or judge your heart I have to assume your sincerity and honesty and accept you as a child of God, a living stone in God’s church. I would want the same treatment from you. A faithful Christian will never deny such a one the right hand of fellowship.
