Conservative Groups of all stripes are up in arms again! This time it has to do with proposed federal legislation which would mandate that all groups and organizations, including churches and some individuals, register with the government as lobbyists when they encourage their supporters or the public at large to contact their Congressional Representatives or Senators concerning potential legislation or other public policy concerns. Groups such as The American Family Association and Focus on the Family Action have alerted their supporters of H.R. 4682 and S. 1. Public Policy Law Firms, such as the American Center for Law and Justice, headed by Jay Sekulow, are on the forefront of detailing the legalities of these twin bills and their potential effect upon churches and groups to exercise their constitutional rights, in this case the right to free speech, the free exercise of religion and the "right to petition the government for redress of grievances."
My questions are these:
Does it make a difference whether a church is incorporated or not when attempting to exercise any constitutional right? Why?

Which right are you planning to exercise? If your moral guide is the World System, then the privilege of being a part of its agenda formation must be paid for. That is accomplished through any number of contracts that ensure membership in the organization.
At that point you can submissively cede decisions or rant and rail and holler. In the end, what difference does it make? If you do not have the Son you do not have life, and nothing the Constitution promises means a tick.
If you have Him, then you are out of such a body of death, and the same principle about the Constitution applies. You have the Kingdom. Why bicker over crumbs in the alley when you already have a seat at the king's banquet?
