I really enjoyed the perspective Ed Young puts forward in the following video “Church Planting.” In my opinion, I think he nails the issue when he says that some churches are not church plants but church “transplants” instead. This happens when people join churches with suspect motives - they want to build their “own kingdom” and siphon and leverage people and resources from that church in order to build their own as they “obey the calling of God” in their own lives.
This is different from legitimate church plants - where a group moves on to start a new venture. This pretty much happened with my church. But church pirates are a different bunch and Ed discusses this below.
Dude,
that is a stong video. i have seen i happend and have come to a church after it happened. What is this part of? a confrence or a seremon.

It is very true that church planting has to be done ‘correctly’. The main thing is whether it is really done as a will of God/ of man..
