First let me as*ert that there are 2 definitions of ''the church''. There is the true church, which is collectively every born again Christian on the face of the earth. This church is perfect and blameless in the sight of God because of their faith and because their sins have been forgiven. The other definition of the church is a building or an organisation where Christians and people gather to fellowship and praise God. These 2 should not be confused. |

The church I am now talking about is the place where people gather to fellowship and grow in their faith. The question I want to address is, is there such a thing as a perfect church or group of believers who are perfect in all their ways and doctrines?

Now I am not talking about a group of churches which includes every denomination or type of church such as Jehova's Witnesses, Catholics and Mormons etc who hold blatantly unscriptural doctrines: I am talking about Protestant churches which profess true Biblical faith. This can include baptists, methodists, presbyterians etc and any Protestant organisation.

Many Christians, especially newly converted ones, put a great deal of care into selecting a good church to attend.

People are rightly concerned about attending a good, God fearing church which will preach a true Gospel and teach sound doctrine.

I am often asked how to find or where to find a perfect and good church to attend. The question is, does such a church exist?

The reality is that people are pro ne to error. There is not a single perfect person on earth. Unfortunately, I dont believe a single perfect church exists anywhere in the world, because each will by human nature have some or other minor error.

Note: MINOR error. Not major error.

The best advice I can give when looking for a good church is to look at the leadership and observe their attitude towards the preaching of the Gospel.
