The assembly wherever you are doesn't have "membership" as far as I can see.

That is most likely where things go off and, in my view, it's related to the "universal church" problem.

I don't believe "church membership" is really a New Testament concept, is it?
The word "membership" doesn't appear in KJV, NASB, RSV, NIV or Darby...
