Getting In: Membership VS Eldership

For what it takes to be a member of a church, I think the front door of the church local should be about the same size as the front door of the Church universal – which is very wide, doctrinally. And I think the door into the eldership should be really tiny.

but not more tiny than Acts 14 - I agree: Big doors but Big emphasis on Holiness inside....
