What About This?

How long has the church only been for one type of people? I mean I know we have the whole Gentile/Jew thing of the Bible, but that was quite a while ago. When did church start becoming just who you are. Are only the Dutch people who are Christians saved? How about the Scottish? Or possibly the English? Nope, can't be the English anymore. Denominationalism is tearing the world apart. One of my friends in the CRC doesn't have a lick of Dutch blood in him. But the bigger problem is "When did Christianity stop being for all people and simply exist for the Caucasians or the Indians or the African Americans?" We criticize without realizing the truth. Chances are you do not have too much freedom when you go to a church. Yes, there are some churches that will allow you to get "caught up in the Spirit" and start saying stuff, but if you go to a church you are expected to act within their confines. You ask what in the world I am talking about? If anyone comes to Cottage Grove CRC they are expected to act a certain way. When is the last time that a gang came to church and started throwing up signs during church? You will not see people "lift their hands to heaven" at Cottage Grove. Is inviting new people into a church going to make you change a church? It better not. You can be inviting but at the same time maintain your standards. I mean, in one way your church may change in their ethnic makeup, but what bad is that? People besides the Dutch can contribute to a Dutch Reformed church. It is possible. Am I against denominationalism? Not really, but at a point I am. When we stop realizing that God is supreme and start treating the members of our denominations as the only ones going to heaven we have a problem. If God only wanted white people in Heaven there would be no reason for mission work.
