"We will never save civilisation as long as civilisation is our main object. We must learn to want something else even more."
—C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
Here's a great article on how many Baptists seem not too concerned about a regenerate membership. Have you ever thought about how many non-attending members your church maintains on its rolls?
Every church that holds to a regenerate church membership should have an accountability structure in place (there are a variety of methods) to follow up on all members.
My church has a deacon watchcare program and my deacon touches base with me almost every Sunday.
It may be elders, deacons, or some other structure. To add members but not have a follow up structure in place is poor stewardship.
Members need to be instructed of this mutual accountability.

Love it! Our church watches for this type of thing as well...it's a blessing to know that a deacon is going to call me and touch base every so often!
