1) Not sure about many, but some churches are in fact spiritual death traps with false doctrine and "pharisees" running the show.
Any particular country that's doing especially bad? How about countries that are doing especially well?
2) Modern day churches have little in common with the way the early church operated in the book of Acts. When was the last time your church saw a miracle? When was the last time your church cast a demon out?
Miracles- not during a service or anything. It has been awhile, though, yeah. Demons- no exorcisms recently.
3) Most modern day churches consume all or most of all the offerings received. Many pastors are paid in excess of $80K per year. Doesn't that make your blood boil? Ever ask your pastor how much he gets paid? Ever get the urge to cast out those "money changers"?
It doesn't make my blood boil because yes, my pastor is forthcoming with his personal financials. In fact, I happen to know that his previous cost-of-living raise was eliminated in the last budget. Not due to poor performance, either- it had to do with a down economy and a desire to prioritize funding for missions and youth ministry. It's a small church, though, and I do realize you probably have very large churches in mind here. For a small church, though, you'd be surprised how much of the budget is devoted to missions. It's almost half.
4) Most churches sing songs right before collecting the offerings because that is when most people feel the best and are more generous. Sad, ain't it?
That is sad. It's awfully easy to slip into emotional manipulation, and some people take advantage of it. OTOH, most people do give little to nothing. Suppose every adult employed weekly-church-attending Christian (and this is strictly limited to those who attend weekly) was on welfare. Now suppose 10% of each welfare check went to whatever church they attend weekly- and nothing else is given by anyone. Got an idea of what that number is? Well, it's much higher than the total amount of money currently being given when everyone is accounted for and most people get paid more than people on welfare. That's not to say emotional manipulation is ok- it's not. But I do understand why pastors are frustrated.
5) Would your church allow Saint Paul to partake of communion?
It's open communion. So yes, Paul the apostle can partake.
He had a prison record and was constantly in trouble with the law. He was apparently a bum taking on odd jobs like tent making and taking hand outs. I bet he would drive the pharisees and hypocrites in your church into a full blown tizzy.
At the mission my pastor (and a few church members) go to on Sunday nights, he would look like a boy scout by comparison. Even if you completely ignore the apostle/evangelist part of his life. And on Sunday mornings, he wouldn't be the only ex-con and he wouldn't have the worst track record. We can deal. Surprise.
Or would he have to first sign and be in agreement with your churches statement of faith?
No, he would not have to sign on to anything for that. That would be required to vote on things like who will be Sunday School superintendent, church treasurer, or elders and deacons. Whereas open communion is open communion. If you show up and are a human, you meet the requirements. You'd probably want to at least profess Christianity in some sense, but even then, both communion elements are passed around and go through your hands in such a way that you could partake for any reason or no reason at all, and this rule is quite universal.
Years ago I went to visit my father and attended his church but was denied to partake of communion because I had not been interviewed by the head pharisee on what I believed.
You might be a touch too broad with the Pharisee moniker. I do think open communion is a good way to be, though. And if you want people to examine themselves to see if they're in the right mindset, it's not hard- just ask for a minute of silence for the purpose of self-examination. Then people either partake or don't, for whatever reason.
