It really shouldn't be a questions of how much is enough... why have a min standard for anything? If you are in daily communion with him, you usually can't wait to be in service again. You go as often as you can... and even when there isn't service.. just to fellowship with like believers.

As newborn babes, we are to desire the sincere milk of the Word.
We read the Scriptures for ourselves, but the Scripture makes it clear that we require the preaching and teaching of the five fold ministry to be perfected and edified.
There is something wrong with a baby that won't eat, and has no appetite. They can't survive without noursihment.
Similarly, there is something wrong with a born again believer who has little or no appetite for hearing teaching and preaching.
They will not thrive or even survive if that isn't corrected.
if you're alive, you're going to get hungry.

Amen and amen. But there is very little, if any, teaching in too many places. One is "too many", by the way, as well. Preachers who never teach are a detriment to the cause of God.

I hate ot knock you off your high and lofty soap box but the majority of churches I have been around teach much more than Acts 2:38 and standards.
I would hate to think if I died wisdom would die with me.

Enough for what? Why would someone that loves God and is truely of the body of Christ want to be in a church service only twice a month? That's insane.

No way a person can grow spiritually with two services a month. No way.

Cult or trinity...what a completely assinine remark.
As if there were nothing else but those two extremes.
Coop, why don't you just be honest and tell us that you are too lazy and too carnal to enjoy church, but that for some reason the Lord still convicts you to the point that you have to try and come up with some spiritually legitimate sounding reasons for laying out of church ansd raising your kids without the benefit of the house of God and the preaching and teaching they desperately need?
Let me tell you something dude, if you dumb around and cause those beautiful children to be lost because you are too stubborn or too whatever to take them to church, knowing what you know, eternity is going to be a long and awful price to pay.
I have watched you squirm and mock and scoff at preachers and the whole idea of church for a long time now.
But when I look at your avatar and see those beautiful babies, it makes me nearly get sick thinking of how you are neglecting them.
They can ban me or give me an infraction if need be...that's fine.
But I will this once tell you the unvarnished truth.
