Placing membership? Show me where that is in the scriptures? Show me where "voting for elders" is in the scriptures. Neither of them are. The Bible tells us that preachers appointed elders. The Bible also says that the only way to be "added" to the church is through repentance, confession and baptism. God adds you to the church. Placing membership is a man-made tradition. All you have to do is say you are a baptized Christian when you go to a church, and you should automatically be considered a member.
