(...if anything)
A lady goes forward to join the church (the pastor invited people to join). The pastor shakes her hand, and then announces she is coming to join the church by statement of faith.
So the church immediately votes to receive her by her statement of faith. Unanimous reception (for those who voted).
Then, the pastor, after she is voted in as a member, asks her what her statement of faith is.
She says "I just want to be a part of the church."
Um. OK.
