How do we know God calls people to church membership?

Answered in 1 source

God calls to membership those whom He has chosen for salvation.

The concept of God's election is integral to church membership in a sovereign grace context. Acts 2:47 states, 'And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.' This indicates that God is actively involved in adding individuals to His church based on His sovereign will. The church is referred to as the 'church of the elect' in 1 Peter 5, which underscores the belief that God has chosen His people for salvation, and by extension, for membership in His body. This divine action highlights that church membership is not merely a social contract but a manifestation of God's redemptive plan.
