It seems best to understand rules a matter of the heart. Do the rules actually help you become closer to God, or do the rules take you further away from God? This is what was asked of the speaker when having lunch with a non-denominational pastor while attending the Amish-Mennonite church, a church that had clearly spelled out rules. And a good and perfect question it was, seeing that it drove right to the heart of the matter. That’s what every church should ask, whether their church rules bring the person closer to God or not. It’s not that rules should be in place due to fear, per se. Usually not. Nor should they just be following rules as a result of what tradition is, or what the leader or group of leaders want to do. Rules are present for a reason, to actually help us, and not to hinder us or make life more difficult than it needs to be. If a group of people wants to have a certain set of rules, that seems fine, so long as they say those specific rules don’t have to be followed for one to be saved from their sins, to avoid Hell.
