Can I Be a Member?

I don't know that I will ever be the senior pastor of a church. I haven't narrowed it out, but am not currently planning it. I did pose myself with this question today though. What requirements would I have for membership? What lifestyle arrangements, beliefs, service and giving tendencies would I make a pre-requisite for membership of a congregation I was in charge of.

I cannot firmly answer this question at the moment. I'm sure they would be more strict than many people would like, but I'm confident they would be supported biblically, and healthy for anyone to try.

What about you? What requirements would you want to see a church put on its members? Does it even matter to you? Does membership to a church even matter to you?

On that note, what, to you, is the point of church membership, and maybe more importantly, do you believe that membership to a particular church is a biblical or healthy practice? Is church membership too much of following "Paul, or Apollos" or is it a healthy practice? I'll leave my thoughts to your comments.
