There are many pitfalls and dangers in and of the "world". We should understand the world and the way it works, while we live in it but not of it.

2. Organizations not required to file Form 1023.—The following
types of organizations may be considered tax-exempt under section
501(c)(3) even if they do not file Form 1023:
1. Churches,
2. Integrated auxiliaries of churches, and conventions or
associations of churches, or
3. Any organization that:

than $5,000.
Even if the above organizations are not required to file Form 1023
to be tax-exempt, these organizations may choose to file Form 1023
in order to receive a determination letter that recognizes their section
501(c)(3) status. [see page 2 Instructions for form 1023, (Revised September 1998)]"... a church, its integrated auxiliaries, or a
convention or association of churches is not required
to file Form 1023 to be exempt from Federal income
tax or to receive tax-deductible contributions..." [see page 23 Instructions for form 1023, (Revised September 1998)]

A common error made by Churches is that they allow themselves to be classified as something they are not.
See page 15 Instructions for form 1023 "...If you
select this public charity status, you must
request either an advance ruling or a
definitive ruling by completing Part X, line
6. See Publication 557 for additional
information about these tests." Public Charities are "described in sections 509(a)(1), (2), or (3)." [ see page 21 and also page 35 Instructions for form 1023, (Revised June 2006)]A Church is also not a "foundations" unless it chooses to be classified as such at which time it falls under the classification and restrictions of a foundation.

His Church is the organization of Christ, a foreign king, separate from other states under one form of government. Christ and His Kingship is our foundation and we are His charity to His People.
