Question: Do you have to be a church member to be saved?

1. If by "church member" one means a member of the New Testament
church, that Jesus built, and for which He shed His blood, the
answer is yes. In a way, it's like asking if one must be a
Christian to be saved, or if one needs the blood of Christ to be
saved. According to the Bible, when one is saved by the blood of
Christ as he obeys the conditions of pardon, the Lord adds the
saved to the church (Acts 2:47). That's what the church is--saved
people. The church is not the Savior; Christ is the Savior; the
church is the saved.
