Membership and Salvation in the Lord’s Church Many deny that church membership is essential for salvation Is that true? Richie Thetford

The Universal Church 1 Timothy 3:15 Conditions of membership outlined by the word of God “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Matt 16:18 Church is made up of those who have been: Sanctified Redeemed Saved 1 Timothy 3:15

The Universal Church The one church of Christ is also the one body Individuals that are in this one body are considered to be saints, ones sanctified unto God (Eph 1:1) CHRIST “And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. CHURCH BODY Eph 2:16 Eph 1:22-23

Becoming A Member of the Lord’s Church One becomes a member of the church of Christ when one obeys the plan of God Mark 16:16; 1 Pet 3:21 Rom 10:10; Matt 10:32 Baptism Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38 Confess Heb 11:6; John 12:44-48 Repent Believe Rom 10:17 Hear Plan of Salvation

Church Membership and the Saved “Why discuss conditions for salvation when talking about church membership?” The conditions are the same! The church IS the body of Christ We are baptized into Christ Galatians 3:26-27 CHRIST CHURCH BODY “Savior of the body” Eph 1:22-23; 5:23 Col 1:18, 24 “into Christ”

“Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection” “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures”

Church Membership and the Saved We were baptized INTO His ONE body CHRIST “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free--and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.” 1 Cor 12:13 CHURCH BODY

To be saved, is to be in the church Church Membership and the Saved The example of Acts 2: CHRIST “Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.” Acts 2:41 “…And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2:47 CHURCH BODY To be saved, is to be in the church

Membership and Salvation in the Lord’s Church The church of God is the body of Christ, the family or house of God, the kingdom, the people belonging to the Lord NO accountable person in this age is promised salvation outside the church Everyone who is “SAVED” is “ADDED” to the church by the same one who saves him – and that is GOD!
