16 Things To Look For In A Pew-sitter

In light of the thread started "16 Things to look for in a preacher",
http://www.apostolicfriendsforum.com...66&postcount=1

Just wondering if the preachers have some helpful suggestions for the saints....

Mine is:

1. Fast and pray for the service and your pastor. You might be amazed at the move of God's Spirit, and how much better the pastor's sermon connects with you, when you've actually prayed BEFORE Sunday for God to move and have his way ON Sunday.

2. Own your church. Life is busy but as much as possible, be part of what your church is doing. The more you take ownership the more you are going to be part of what God is doing in your local assembly and the local community.

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
