Does Your Church Have Formal Membership?

I was always under the impression that nearly every church had a formal membership roster. Usually there was not a big deal made of it and I certainly can't think of an instance where anyone was made to recite any vows in front of the pastor or congregation (which I wouldn't do -even if I agreed with them). As long as you paid your tithes and attended every service, you were in.
