No I don't, same reason as that of the Op, except it's a church with very few members where they all know themselves.

Back then when i was in High School my friends and I will stand just so the church will give us lunch and refreshments grin

But now its a No No. lol. recently i traveled and visited a church with a small congregation after refusing to stand up the minister in charge asked me why i didn't stand up, i simply told him i am not a visitor in presence of GOD.

FemiFaniKayode:
if you can refuse a little thing as standing up to be recognized when in a new body of Christ,
then it is also justified if Christ denies you blessings for visiting his house

What is dis one saying....

Before I use to be shy, but someday, I summed courage and stood up, and I was asked to take all my belongs and move forward to the front seat, where ushers would attend to me, and some light refreshment, lol, come and see mouth watering refreshment, I took home, the next sunday, wen the Pastor asked again, " you know u are coming to this church for the very first time, can you please signify by standing up, I remembered last sunday, I almost stood up again grin

na so Usher look me, na him I respect myself grin

I do because I hate lying and do not want to lie in God's presence....

Stand up next time you are a first timer in a church and don't lie in God presence through your action or inaction...

#Thanks...

pls don't feel shy or ashame to present yourself for Christ. you never can't tell if that day is when Christ wanted to meet you.
first timer is an opportunity to show case who you are, what you have and get what you need from Christ.

Lol, I have never ever stood up whenever I visit a new church and first timers are called out.

Reason: I don't want excess calls and visitation from follow up teams. If I like your church service, I will come back next week, if I don't we will meet at Jesus's feet

in fact I always look forward to it, meeeehn its fun

Re: Do You Stand Up as a first timer in a new Church? by nkemdi89(f): 2:25pm On Apr 24, 2016

Liberty parish redeem, years back I refused to stand cos I am always simple when I attend church, no makeup or flamboyant dressing, to avoid unnecessary attention. Couple with the fact my church is mostly attended by Imsu students.

Re: Do You Stand Up as a first timer in a new Church? by stanel(m): 2:31pm On Apr 24, 2016

Re: Do You Stand Up as a first timer in a new Church? by freecocoa(f): 2:33pm On Apr 24, 2016

Only in churches where they offered refreshments /gift to first timers(back then in my early days in school when I still attended church).

I never failed to give them wrong information on those forms, didn't want anybody disturbing me. grin
