Open Church

Just found this comment on Open Church at TheHeresy that seems to rather relate to my denomination/church membership inner debate. Especially the comments of others posted!

I've been questioning for a while now the "rules of the club" that you agree to when going into membership - none of it seems to relate to how you are as a Christian, but rather to what you agree to believe in. Is this biblical? From what I can gather, D2 (see below) baptizes you if you want to commit to God (with only a short study on what you're committing to), but there is a seperate process to "join the club", or become a member (with a longer period of going through the "rules" and such). Is THIS biblical? Too many questions today, too few answers....
