Love and praying for you and your family and calvary church.

A born again believer is a member of the Body of Jesus. Jesus is Lord and King, so we are either following Him genuinely or not.

Membership in a local assembly is not really the issue. Lots of people are members of a church and not really following Jesus. A social or religious club misses it.
So follow Jesus for real with an actual ekklesia, five fold ministry leadership team (Ephesians 4) which follows the blueprints from Jesus in the new testament.

May I ask what you think of Unitarian teaching.

Hey, how are you, I missed the youtube Thursday, we teach Acts ch2:38, and baptism in Jesus name, so we ask people not force them, to be baptized in his name, we do believe Father, son, holyghost but through the name of Jesus, and calling on his name is according to scripture, it was his blood that was shed so I'm not understanding the big disagreement about been baptized in his name., And the father, son, and holyghost are titles, I would love for you to talk about this, also it says in Acts 4:10-12, salvation in no other name that you can be saved.

2.0. Sounds wrong and not a church I would attend.

Yes, it is Biblical. Calvary Chapels drop the ball on this issue as well as other ones. But, Calvary Chapels' heresies are not huge, but still there.
