No. I actually applied and sent in some fees but never got any papers and things lagged, and I changed my mind after anyway. Not three-step enough for me, to be honest with you.

Yes. But I was concerned there were not enough three-steppers, so I backed out.
Try ACN.

I can appreciate a man who is honest about what he believes.

Re: Tithing…Is it a command?
Personally, I don't believe in "licensing". As it relates to the state "license" is essentially express permission granted by an authorized authority to do that which would otherwise be illegal. I kinda feel like by requiring a "license" the state has declared the ministry to be illegal (having no legal recognition) outside of it's own authority.
As it relates to private religious bodies... "licensing" seems to only perpetuate divisions within the body. Instead of saying, "I am of Paul", and, "I am of Apollos.", and, "I am of Cephas."... we say, "I am of the UPCI", and, "I am of the ALJC.", and, "I am of the PAW."... etc.
Within the house churches I fellowship we do not believe in being "licensed". Gifts and callings are cognized through practice and personal experience. Elders are spiritual shepherds and mentors recognized within the body... not CEOs or rulers.

Re: Tithing…Is it a command?
In the church my wife and I attend the church is independent and there for the pastors are not licensed with anyone, they do affiliate themselves with Cornerstone and Michael Pitts is their Bishop or elder so they have a spiritual covering.

Re: Tithing…Is it a command?
In Greece all churches ask for tithing,except the one trinitirian.
This church:
a)do not ask for tithes
b) pastors not get paid (they have to kork "with their own hands")
And believe me this church:
a) is the biggest in Greece
b)have the most beautiful buildings
c) have more churches in Greece (and out of Greece) than all the evangelical,pentecostal churches together.
d)the most buildings are not rent but ownership
e)the church is open minimum four days per week for preaching etc (some of them everyday)
Conclation? although i attend a UPCI church i can se THEY ARE BLESSED because they have confident in God about money,nobody can say to them "you are all about money"
and many people they give in offerings more than a tithe! even houses ! and also if somebody is poor he do not have to give but the church gives them food!
