What is your method for finding definitions of biblical words? For example, the difference between "accursed" and "cursed" and the difference between "lucre" and "money". I have a Strong's concordance and also Webster's 1828. I don't think that going back to the original Hebrew and Greek is necessary. I know that the English of the KJV is correct; but, sometimes, isn't getting to the "root" of the word necessary?
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.
