From the program:
"Those attending this event should be seeking to follow Jesus in the manner of the early Christians and the early Anabaptists."
This makes me a seeker.

I would have thought that loyalists in your former fellowship would not be invited but didn't know it applied to your present fellowship. I thought your present fellowship did not rebaptize folks who were baptized in the proper manner. And I was not aware that your present fellowship considered themselves the true church but rather a true church."

The old woodcutter spoke again. “It is impossible to talk with you. You always draw conclusions. Life is so vast, yet you judge all of life with one page or one word. You see only a fragment. Unless you know the whole story, how can you judge?"
For clarification, Holdemans consider themselves a true church as well; they believe that belief in the existence of “the united, undivided church of God”, also known as “the one, true, (and) visible church” is taught in scripture. Some members believe other true visible churches may exist that are not (yet) in our church directory.
At issue here is here is that Holdemans do not hold to the idea of an invisible and visible church. Maybe it would be good to clarify that belief in the invisible and visible church is expected of attendees?
