Church Membership

Where in the Bible does it say that if a church has more members, it is a better church? Nowhere, as far as I am aware of. Is holiness measured by church membership? Does it mean that if you are a member of the largest church in the world, you chances of going to heaven will be greater? Does a richer church relfect a holier church?

But today, pastors and so-called spiritual leaders use that to boast about their churches. Jesus never tried to win over the whole world, did he? He stopped at 12 disciples. He never asked for money for himself to make his life more luxurious. Can you tell me any pastor today who reflects Jesus in his ways? I cannot think of even one.

The use of such measure is the result of pastors who wish to command high pay and live luxurious lives, and so to attract more Christians and justify their existance, they have to use some kind of measurements, just like in the secular world. So Christians, don't be deceived by all these human standards. Ask questions and seek the truth.
