Section 46

The way the church is organized is not only according to Jesus Christ's ways, but also very uniquely compared to other churches. Any Mormon church you go to will be 90% exactly the same as every other Mormon church, the only difference is the people! I think it is a huge benefit to have churches across the globe that are all unified in goal and follow the direction given by Christ. 
Rule #1 everyone is welcome to sacrament meeting (v3-6). Investigators as well as people who are working through personal iniquity are both seeking the kingdom of God and are welcome at church! It would be nice if they didn't have to worry about being judged...but no body is perfect.
Rule #2 everyone has different gifts and are to use them for the benefit of all (v10-12). There are a plethora of different gifts, but most important is given to the bisoph in which he can discern all the gifts in others, and therefore, can conduct the church successfully (v27). 
The Lord gives us callings because we have special gifts from Him that we are expected to develop and use to benefit others. I've been told my talents a few times but it is still sometimes hard to realize and consciously use them to benefit my ward.
