I agree totally with Rob, I have in the past left a NF church to go to a non NF church, with no threats or questions. In fact they preyed for myself and my wife that we would be blessed in our new church.After two years we came back to our former church and were welcomed whole heartedly.
I have dis agreed with elders, and not been punished or thought ill of, we had friendly discussions, and agreed to disagree.
We believe the Bible is unchanging and is as true today as it has ever been, modern life is trying to usurp this faith, and is paying the penalty as did Sodom, Gomorrah and Nineveh.

As has been said, not all Newfrontiers churches are the same, each is a self governed individual church.

A relative of mine was a member of a Newfrontiers church in the south of England, quite a number of years ago. She was in her early twenties and was going out with a young man who was not a practicing Christian. An elder the church somehow became aware of this and counselled her against being "unequally yoked with non believers." She politely thanked him for his counsel but pointed out that they were not "yoked" in any way as they were only going out together and nothing more serious was foreseen. At this the leader told her that he did not agree with her, she was wrong, the relationship was wrong, and that she must choose either the young man or the church. She made her choice there and then, turned her back on the leader and walked away. Several months later the relationship between her and the young man had lost its romantic aspect, but they were still friends. No more than that. One day she happened to meet the church leader in the street and she politely informed him that she was no longer going out with the young man and that she would like to return to the church. The leader asked her whether she still saw him, and she replied that they were still friends but were not going out. There was no romantic relationship. The elder told her she must break off all friendship with this fellow if she wanted to return to church. With that she told him in no uncertain terms exactly what he could do with his church. I will not repeat her words here. Sadly the result was that she was completely closed off to anything to do with God or His church for a great many years afterwards. She has since regained her faith in God, but will not make any commitments to any church of any denomination.

In contrast, I have been a member of two different Newfrontiers churches and have found their leaders to be honest and open and in no way controlling. Like a lot of denominations these days, you have to weigh what you find. You cannot tar them all with the same brush, However, I view with suspicion claims of modern day apostles and I am definitely against the idea of leaders who are not accountable to anyone, and would definitely warn against joining a church where a leader or leaders were controlling.

I was told to tithe. If I didn't I was robbing God. This is what David Stroud, the leader of Chirstchurch London said. I told my weekly cell group that I was a full time student and that I couldn't afford to tithe as I was self supporting. I was shamed and told off - it was quite brutal.

A couple got up to talk to the congregation. They said that if they tithed, then they would go into debt and not be able to pay their rent. But they decided that they should be loyal to God. Miraculously their friends came through for them and put money into their account.

I don't have friends to do that for me.

No, I wasn't blessed with finances as David Stroud said that we would be when we give, Tithing placed great strain on me, it was a lot of stress as my account was on the borderline of being empty and I was tempted to steal to survive.
