Indeed. There are a number of invisible signs and they differ from church to church.
* Check Your Pride At The Door, This Is A Place To Regain Humility\
* So you think you can become as good as one of us? We highly doubt it but we'll give you a chance. And we'll let you know when you don't make the mark.
* We know enough law to kill anyone but we've experienced enough mercy that we won't.
* If you want to feel like you're one of us... you're gonna have to look like one of us.
* We love God and his laws and we live them before you in humility hoping that you will see the glory of the ways of our Holy and Merciful God.
* We speak Christianese. If you don't understand it... Work on that.
* We are so thankful to have you with us today. None of us are worthy but by the Blood of the Lamb. The same blood that was shed for any one of us... was shed for all us.
* Welcome. We're so glad you're here. We haven't had any fresh fodder for the grist mill in quite a while. It seems most folks aren't strong enough to live the way we do.
* We remember where we came from and that helps us be a strength and a blessing to you where you are. We're so very glad you came.
