It is a sad day for the whole Church of Christ, but as what Bro. Erano Manalo, Ka Erdy always quote "To live is Christ, to die is gain". Truly, he lived a life in Christ and spending all of it in the service of God. His memories will stay in our hearts until we meet the Lord.
There is no verse that states one has to be a member of a church, congretation or anthing else.
John 3:16, Romans 10:9, all you have to do is believe and accept Jesus Christ, and you are saved....
PERIOD!
Please, how can you begin to disagree with me on this? All of the verses I quoted prove this undeniably. Why wont you accept these verses? Why can't you accept this?
