Talk:Religious organization

The entity of Christ

Is the Church a Religious organization entity? yes or no

is the Church a Non-Profit entity? yes or no

Is the Church an unincorporated association? yes or no

Sameness and differences

Religious organization

The Church, like a Religious organization, has a religious purpose or duty and is organized but as an entity the answer is no because lots of institutions are religious but do not qualify as a "pure religion" which the Church must be due to the commands of Christ.

Yes the Church is Not for Profit but not as an entity because willingness to sacrifice gain and leave the profit to God does not give it its identity.

But this last concept of Unincorporated Associations is hardest to grasp. The congregations could be considered as an unincorporated association but the Church was appointed by Jesus who was the rightful King of Judea and therefor the righteous king of Israel and not a part of nor of the Roman "world".

Church vs congregation

Called out vs Called to

First:

The Structural Definition of an Unincorporated Associations is not that of a Church but the IRS treats an unincorporated association as a "corporation" for federal tax purposes even though a Church is seen as an entity by itself. The fact that an entity is an unincorporated association but not a church it must apply for 501(c)(3) status to be tax-exempt shows that they are not the same thing.

While, the Church appointed by Jesus was the rightful Kingdom of Israel and not a part of nor of the Roman "world"/government the congregation was an assembly of individual families in at least groups of tens which may be seen as an association.

Highs and Lows of liability

An Unincorporated Association has High Liability when it acts as a body without the limited liability of a legal entity. With no Separate Legal Entity/ identity many states and no legal existence separate from its members. It cannot sue, be sued, or hold title to property in its own name (property must be held by trustees). If it acts as a body/democracy or group there can be assumed a Personal Liability. "Members and leaders can be personally liable for the debts, contracts, and torts (lawsuits) of the group. If the congregation is sued for negligence (e.g., a slip-and-fall), the personal assets of members or leaders may be at risk under the common law rule of joint and several liability.

The Logos of the Natural Law

The ministrative guidelines of Moses were not merely random rules but contained divine wisdom.

This is why all offerings are individual choices, voluntary/ freewill, and burnt offerings entirely. This separates the congregations from the "Church and Church-controlled" entity.

It is only the Church that holds all things common. To sue the Church is to rob individuals who freely sacrificed in good faith.

The minister of the Church also needs to be Separate from the world and obedient to Christ.

There is no cheating at any of the criteria of Christ but that will be a major place of conflict with the World and the globalist Babylon.

They will not want to recognize the Church as the corporation or Corpus or Body of Christ.

The Courts only go back to Constantine although they know it may go back farther.

In fact, if it goes back to Christ it goes back to Melchizedek and therefor back to Adam before the fall with the grace of Christ.

Bylaws

A bylaw is a rule or law made by a group by consent. They are meant to guide how an organization interacts with its members setting rules for leaders and explain the duties of the internal offices of a group as one entity.

Bylaws for a church-controlled entity act as the internal operational manual for a subordinate or integrated auxiliary of a Church—while ensuring the mother church retains ultimate overseership and structural control. Unlike standard nonprofit bylaws, these documents must explicitly tie the entity’s governance, assets, and theological stance directly to the parent church.

The Guidelines and Ministrative guidelines are the ByLaws for His Church-controlled entities.

Certified copies

A Certified copy can be produced when an original document is not immediately available.

A certified copy is an exact duplicate of an original document that has been officially verified, signed, and stamped or sealed by an authorized person or officers, for the purpose of confirming it is a true and accurate copy of the original documents.

Criteria for certified documents:

• The text and layout must be identical to the original.
• It must include written words stating the copy is true and exact, correct, or actual.
• Authorization may include a stamp or raised seal and signature from the authorized official.

For a church-controlled entity, internal and external legal documents require different authorities to certify them.

Internal governing rules like bylaws are verified directly by organizational leaders, while foundational public records must be verified by the state or a notary.

If the Church exerts sole member control of a church-controlled entity then it is their designated officer who may also certify the documents comply with the parent ministry's rules.

Testimony witness and minutes

The Church's purpose and mission is to serve the congregation of those people who individually gather in the name of Christ, which is the character of Christ. And friends of the church serving in a Church-controlled entity seeks to assist Church in that mission.

The Overseer of that Church-controlled institution will need to see the record of the actions taken by the ministers.

The use of 'meeting minutes' is one form as well as emails, notes concerning calls etc. But 'meeting minutes' are not about what is said but is a brief note about what the minister chooses to do, or what he does.

Meeting minutes

The phrase "meeting minutes" has nothing to do with time; it actually comes from the Latin phrase minuta scriptura, which translates to "small writing" or "small notes." So, the phrase meeting minutes are merely the rough draft of the Record of what is done not what is said.

The meeting minutes are merely the rough draft of the Record of what is done" by a Church-controlled organizations which is required to keep records as stated in the original indenture of all Integrated Auxiliary and Church-controlled organizations.

At their core, meeting minutes are an official record of actions taken, not a word-for-word transcript of what was said. However, reasonably and operationally, they should include the critical context behind those actions to protect the organization. While churches and integrated auxiliaries enjoy exemptions from many other entities they are required to keep records.

Critical context

"Critical context" refers strictly to the specific action itself.

Any specific action should be recorded using one to three precise sentences that capture the motion, the rationale, and the final voting outcome.

The outcome is not always the outcome of voting but may by executive order depending on the terms and organizational documents.

You should provide enough detail so a future reader, auditor, or overseer may readily understands what was decided and why, without necessarily documenting any of the casual conversation.

To achieve that crucial clarity, essential meeting minutes may contain:

• Defined agenda, key discussion items, and purpose,
• Structured information.
• Official attendees, which may include overseers or their representatives,
• Formal decisions that were made,
• Assigned action items for whom,
• Time frame, deadlines and
• Acceptance terms.

The maintaining meticulous minutes meeting is to establish an official factual record which can be used to establish an historical reference providing complete proof of process ensuring accountability and responsibility for each task and expected completion.

For some entity types a well documented minutes would seem to be indispensable for legal and compliance purposes.

For Church-controlled entities the motivation is an abiding desire to perform a pious duty in one accord with the logos of the Founder of the Church, Jesus the Christ.

The Minutes meeting for a Church is not the same as other entities but the call for efficiency but it is highly recommended to use standardized template but also vocabular unique to the Church distinguishing it from other more world entities with a wide variety of agendas and attendees. The agenda and purposes of the Church must be the agenda and purpose of Christ.

The indenture calls for records in pursuit of His righteous agenda while it also provides crucial context where members can work as a team and saves souls with a positive impact upon the whole body.

Examples

The indenture itself contains minutes of meetings in the form of the complete or Gross account of the creation of the Official Indenture. That Indenture includes individual signatory pages that confirm men were meeting in agreement which contains the "elements" of a meeting minutes".

Schedule A, B, and C are all apart of the meeting minutes.

The meetings minutes of the Church are generally confidential but the minutes meeting pertaining to public activities of Church-controlled organizations, though they are addressed to the Overseer, The Church, they may be made public to parties with an interest.

Elements

Official Records of actions in the form of Minutes meeting or Minuta Scripta should always include:

• The official name of the Church-controlled organizations,
• The date of action and the date of record if different,
• Name of minister who signs,
• Mailing address and
• Physical location of the Church-controlled entity.
• The name of the Overseer,
• Mailing address of the overseer, and
• Physical location of the Church or parsonage of the Overseer.
