You have to show your W2s to serve in leadership

Acts Mod Posts: 25305 **5/23/17 7:22 pm**

I talked with a guy this week who told me that in the full gospel church he attends, you have to show your W2s to prove you really pay your tithes before serving in a leadership position.
He seemed totally in favor of the idea.

Your thoughts?

I've been told there's a fairly large church here locally that you have to show proof of income or W2s (don't remember which) to join the church.

Ah the steps some Pentecostal churches take to enforce false doctrine. Cultic.

Seems like over kill and also distrust amongst Christians. I cannot think of a church I would like to be a member strong enough to be 'forced' to show my w-2.

I once had a great SS superintendent who never filled out a tithe envelope according to my clerk, and I had no problem believing he supported the church. Of course that may be one reason I did not remain a pastor long Embarassed

I think Mormons lead the way here.

Every member shows annual income documentation.

Of course, if you later lose your job - they pay all your expenses until you get another job from the church treasury.

So, if a COG wants to make that deal, it seems fair.

Chill, NBF just had a dangling modifier is all.
You get paid from the church treasury until you get another job.
