House Church Talk - HC Network Covenant

[His Servant]

Scott,
As I said to you before, it seems all about creating a denomination that
meets in houses.  The key word is control.  People like this seem to want
to try to control what God is doing.

> This explains the bent toward tithing, etc. Also shows how HCs and HC
networks are seen as tools of ICs to reach folks who don't want to be
'churched'....   Maybe this is a good thing if they ever get a taste of real
body life, nobody might want to go back to being IC-churched.  But as for
the New Heart Community covenant thingy for Overseers, now we know a bit
more about where they are coming from.
