outside of the group (e.g., no sex before marriage, unless sexual
intercourse is part of the community activity ;), yikes!).
-2. There are probably some rules about what makes the group the Christian one.
- They should not limit membership (I am strong believer in “belonging before
- believing”, so even unbelievers should be members of the community, although
- with some limited rights), but they should define the spirit and direction
- of the community. I am a member of the international Protestant congregation
- in Prague, Czechia, so members of our church come from a very wide
- denominational background. We have members from American Episcopalians and
- Norwegian Lutherans on one side to Pentecostals from Africa with people from
- Philippines, all around Europe and many other types of Christians in
- between. So for me the definition of who is a proper Christian is rather
- loose. I guess I would keep the basic Creeds of the Church (Apostles’ Creed,
- Nicene Creed, etc.), but not sure who further I would like to limit. I would
- certainly welcome Roman Catholics and Orthodox, even to the celebration of
- the Lord’s Supper and other sacraments, but I am afraid they prefer their
- own communities.

3. I really don’t see, why I would have to have 100% trust in the human
leadership of the community. I do believe in leadership of the Holy Spirit
