Those who choose to follow Christ may form a group in a local church. The fact of corporate identity as followers of Jesus Christ does not, in itself, identify an heretical group. It should come as no surprise that actual heretics will charge faithful Christians as a party. Collectively, disciples may choose a congregation because of common beliefs. The choosing itself is not heretical because of the common faith that they share.
All people make choices.
But only those who choose to follow Jesus in the true sense can rightly escape the rightful condemnation of promoting a work of the flesh.
