Key Ideas For Eternal Life

What is a “church of Christ?” Literally: the called out belonging to Christ –1 Peter 2:9-10, Rom. 8:9, 1 Cor. 3:23, Gal. 3:29 Jesus Built Only One Church –Matthew 16:18, Acts 20:28 Jesus’ Church is His One Body –Ephesians 4:4, Colossians 1:18,24 Used Properly, It Is A Description of a Local Church, Made Up of Christians IN His Body. –Romans 16:16 –Galatians 1:22

Is the church of Christ just another denomination? Clarify our Meaning: John 2:19-21 Acts 2:41,47 show God adding the saved to the universal church, the body of Christ. This IS synonymous with salvation, and therefore essential. If there is such a thing as a “Church of Christ” denomination, membership in this man-made group is NOT essential to salvation. –1 Corinthians 1:12

What Is A Denomination? The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: –“A large group of religious congregations united under a common faith and name and organized under a single administrative and legal hierarchy.” Webster’s: –“A religious organization uniting in a single legal and administrative body a number of local congregations.”

Is the “church of Christ” just another denomination? “group of religious congregations” –We are autonomous. Not part of any group. “united” –We are not united in collective funds, administration, or cooperative works. “common faith and name” –We have no creed or system of imposing specific matters of doctrine. –We have a common description, but there are even variations on this. “organized under a single admin…” –We have no organization beyond local churches.

Is the “church of Christ” just another denomination? Paraphrase: We use only the Bible. We form local autonomous churches overseen only by local elders. We have no creed, no earthly headquarters, and describe ourselves only as Christians. I don’t know how to be more “undenominational” than that. The Point: We have MUCH, MUCH more in common with the church in the Bible, than with the denominations in the phonebook. –Matthew 16:18

The Problem With Denominationalism Names Matter, But It Is More Than Just A Matter of Names. –Romans 16:16 It Is Sinful To Form “Factions”. –Galatians 5:20-21 It Is Sinful To Create Overseers Beyond The Local Flock –1 Peter 5:1-2 It Is Sinful To Divide Those Whom Christ Died To Unite. –John 17:20-21, 1 Corinthians 1:10-13
