Yes, I remember saying that: "Do they meet with the Church?" Yikes! (reminds me of an old, kinda creepy Star Trek episode where this infected one says, "Friend, are you of the body?")
I remember being with a dear brother after a meeting in Columbus and going to a fast food place afterwards. A few believers were sitting there softly singing Jesus songs. We went over and sat with them and had some nice fellowship . . . that was up until the point the brother with me said to them, "Well, it's just that we've seen something higher than you have."
Guess what happened to the fellowship at that point (you get one guess, because it's not a hard one to answer)?
