If a Baptist Church had problems and split, would the newly formed church be a scriptural church? The new church did not have an "arm extended" from another church. Please help me understand "extending an arm from another church" clearer. I hear other preachers making the comments that if an "arm was not extended" from another scriptural New Testament Church then it is not a New Testament Church.
What is the correlation/connection between water baptism and church membership? I see where Acts 2:41 references both baptism and adding to the church in the same context, but have not found where baptism is clearly required for church membership.
