My members are very friendly. However, a church can be very friendly and not be a biblical church. If I had the choose between a friendly church that was not biblical and a biblical church that was not friendly, I would choose the biblical church.

But than again I'm funny that way.

I will add that there is nothing wrong with being friendly. I think that being friendly can be considered part of being a biblical church. However, if a friendly church is teaching false doctrine I wouldn't consider them a friendly church. Not for a minute.
