No, members of the Presbyterian denominations are not required to pay any fee to the church. Members are encouraged and instructed to "tithe," or to contribute to the operating costs and ministries of the church. But all such contributions are voluntary.
A church which places a tax upon its members is not a church I would wish to belong to. It would be like saying "If you want to belong to the church you will have to pay to get in". Any monies paid by the congregation for the upkeep of the church or to pay the minister salary is done voluntary and the monies are not set by the church. One may pay a tithe but that is set by the Lord, usually one tenth of members income. To pay a tithe is a blessing, to be taxed is of Satans doing. A regular voluntary contribution is inevitable for the maintenance of the church and the sustenance of those who fully engaged in church works.
Yes. You tithe every month ten percent of your earnings
tithe
If a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) admits to their Bishop that they do not pay a full tithe, they will not qualify to hold a Temple Recommend or to hold certain leadership positions in the congregation. They are still welcome to be participating members of the congregation and can hold most teaching and service positions within the church. Church members believe that those not paying a full tithe will not recieve some blessings from God that they could have recieved if they were following His commandment of Tithing.
Yes.
Three tithes are mentioned in the Old Testament: the Levitical tithe, the festival tithe, and every third year the tithe for the poor.
They had to pay 10% of their income or crops
Depends on the church and the pastor of the church. I pastor a church and don't charge anything for our members to get married. However, I do expect them to tithe as the Bible asks them to. I don't perfrom a marriage ceremonies for non-members except for special circumstances. I still don't charge anything.
The word tithe means 10%, but I know what you are asking. 15% of 800 is 120
In my opinion, everybody should pay tithe.
To my knowledge there are no hand signals. I've grown up in Baptist churches. The ushers just do stuff like collect offering/tithe, greet people, hand out bulletins, and such.
