Every single church in America is considered by the IRS to be 501c3. No application required. No reporting required.
What church ISN'T 501c3?
When you invite God into your home to stay forever, that isn't 501c3
So the only solution is to stay home? The 501c3 argument has popped up here a few times. Its HARDER to find a good Bible-believing church now, for sure. It isn't hopeless.
A church is at least 2 believers meeting together in worship. And if the IRS knew you were meeting at your house with one other believer/member, you'd be a 501c3. According to the IRS.
Bottom line: its wrong to smear all churches because the majority fall short. The home church movement doesn't need to trash all other churches to be a viable church model, although many home-church advocates are actively attacking traditional models, which is wrong.
The 501c3 label doesn't make a good church evil.
Agreed. We left our big, evangelical church that was rapidly going left and preaching social justice and finally found a smaller Baptist church. It's not perfect, none are, but the Word is taught and the members are sincere, born-again believers.
Every church is considered tax exempt by the IRS. But a lot of the church leaders got duped into signing a 501(c)(3) form
