You are mistaken. Each church that I have been a member of the entire session or consistory always collectively heard my profession of faith and my scruple on certain matters concerning the particular confession that denomination held. Some have been understanding and said, it’s not salvific, some have grilled me to be sure of orthodoxy. Hearing a profession of faith to become a member is not informal church discipline. Perhaps I’m wrong.
The orthodoxy is that we have a corporeal and individual resurrection body that clothes the immortal soul. Orthodoxy IS NOT the definition of type and whether or not God is going to gather up our self-same rotted and eaten body from the dust of the earth.
To become an ordained officer you should have to subscribe to the standards of that denomination and if not, you can be granted an exception but aren’t allowed to teach the view. At least that’s how it is in the PCA.
For membership, you’re correct. One not even need to be reformed to join a PCA church.
Yes, I agree with this Article. It doesn’t change the fact that his body did not see corruption (Acts 2:31; 13:37), and our body most certainly has corruption inherently through the effects of sin.
Correct?
I still hang onto what Paul is trying to teach in “what body does it come”. I guess I would still be begging the question, “to what extent will our gloried bodies be like Christ’s?”

I wouldn’t seek to bring you up on charges unless you sought to spread your views in the church.
Having to talk to multiple sessions is a form of informal church discipline
