If the church was doing what it's supposed to do as in getting people saved, getting people healed, getting people delivered, feeding and clothing the poor and hungry and so forth, it would not have to fight to have its charitable status. And I don't even see this whole idea of charitable status in the Bible because for the church God's people the Body of Christ the New Creation, God and His Kingdom is its provider and not the government. The more you get the government involved in church life the more you will have and see strings attached. If you don't have the faith to believe God for your provision whether you are a local church or ministry, you've got no business being in the Ministry of Jesus since it's His Ministry and not yours.
