Yes. Becoming born again and joining their specific church are two separate events.Ernie wrote:Are you referring to the Holdeman church you attend?

Re: Terms for the decision to follow Christ
In the tribe we say something that doesn't really translate easily, but I back-translated it as "being oriented toward God (or Jesus)". It is kind of like spiritually facing God, or being drawn to him. (We sometimes also use a phrase that means "to become God's".)Neto wrote:became a child of God
