Unfortunately there are plenty of them around.

#1 There is simply no sense or expression of love among the people.
#2 The Church is not attempting to live out the marks and purposes of a Church.
#3 The Church consistently ignores qualifications for elders and deacons.
#4 The Pastor is preaching blatant heresy.
#5 Members(especially leaders) in the Church are in grave sin but no one is holding them accountable.

I think reasons #1-3 and 5 would be a good reason to go to a church like that. I don't know about reason #4?
 
I am sure that there are some nice Bible teaching Churches where the majority of the people who go are truly Christians.Maybe there are not enough of them to go around.

one can find a church. I live in a small town. I know many a good churches and bad ones. they are there. trust me this isn't church.

make note: we spend more time here arguing then uplifting. im not saying this site isn't beneficial, no I have received financial aid from a member here and been uplifted, but in real life would we argue as long over these topics? probably not.
 
When I was in school, we had to debate. BUT............ we almost always had to debate BOTH sides of an issue, not just the side we felt was correct.

Not a bad way for each of us to look at this subject.
 
I am very,very fussy about who teaches me the word of God.
im beyond anal. yet im more focused on what they do then having perfect theology.

you wont find any church that is perfect on it all. I have a pastor and elder that love jack van impe. should I leave over that they are futurists? yet both men desire to reach the lost. they helped a homeless couple get off the street. which is more important?
 
What if....any of you were already in a church that started to have these struggles mentioned in the OP, is it possible that the Lord would want you to stay and be a good witness to the rest of the members?

One of the Churches which I used to attend became so huge that it would have been impossible for the handful that started out with this Church to reach all of them.
