The bylaws are not a substitute for the Bible believe it or not, so if you don't have scripture, you sure better have logic or you have nothing.
The problem with many people is that they are more concerned about the people they have and not the ones we are meant to be evangelizing (which is the manifest function of the church)...Sadly the lack of growth in many of those churches bear this out. They develop a "Hold the fort" mentality and not a "Take the hills" mentality.

Logic is not in the bible. It's a faith thing. Time will tell what will happen with both fellowships and hopefully God blesses both groups. Your logic leads to not being able to stand for anything without being hypoctical. Not rationalizing everything would be a good beginning. I know.. I'm mean spirited.
