On Earth as It Is in Heaven: Reclaiming Regenerate Church Membership

, 2011

Overview

Wyman Richardson discusses an element of church membership often overlooked—a historic Baptist belief that though it’s in confessional statements, is often removed from practice—that the local church should be comprised of only people who bear the marks of regeneration. Looking to the New Testament, this text examines church membership, seeking to outline how it is defined biblically, and how it plays out in today’s churches. Divided into three sections, Richardson offers a comprehensive and practical discussion of the topic of regenerate membership. He covers diagnosis, the biblical example of membership, and a practical plan for reform.
