The level of entrance to the Church could be based on how long you have been
walking with the Lord instead of former qualifications
Thank you, may the Lord be with you all

The church should be based on relationship with Christ and not on
doctrines or theologies.
These things dilute the intensity of the interplay between the creature
and the savior.
If the faith is nothing more than a doctrinal menu of religious concepts
or rules to live by, then the agape joy can be neglected.
Christ showed the world that He was Emmanuel, God with us, the hope of
glory and no human rationale can define this!
You got the essence of the whole thing there, brother. Love as per
formula, a polite formality based on rules, logic and reason isn't love,
and our Christian "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16). The love of our God is
always fresh, spontaneous and joyful.
Pastor Frank
1Jn:4:8: He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for GOD IS LOVE.
1Jn:4:16: And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.
GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
