There are things in the community of the Lord's saints that is NOT DEMANDED but freely exercised
The first among these that is easily understood is GIVING.
There should be no imprisonment, shunning, excommunication, inquisition, of someone in the church because he did not give tithes or offerings. Some churches do things similar, but that would be a wrong practice.
But since giving of your substance is a teaching of scripture, then it should be done by all true worshipers of God. It is freely exercised by men whose heart is right with God; whose heart the Holy Spirit has plowed on.
Other things that can be and should be given in the church but not good if demanded are:
1. Double honor to the Pastor
2. Loyalty to the church
3. Time for soul winning
