Which church is the right church?

A longer study (with graphics) may be found on "the church described in the Bible" page.

Do we choose entertainment or Worship? "THE BIBLE IS RIGHT AND HAS THE ANSWER". There is one body (Eph. 4:4). The body is the Church (Eph. 1:22-23); therefore, there is but one Church. The one Church is composed of the saved (Eph. 5:23; Acts 2:47). Now, how can we find the one Church Christ built that constitutes the saved?

Here are some of the identifying features of the church described in the New Testament: (1) founded by Christ in Jerusalem about 33 A.D. (Matt.16:18; Acts 2); (2)Christ is the head (Col. 1:18); (3) it has a scriptural designation (Rom. 16:16; 1 Cor. 1:2); (4) has no creed or rule of faith except the New Testament (2 John 9-11); (5) has a plea for unity of all Christians (1 Cor. 1:10-13); (6) has the scriptural organization of elders and deacons (Phil. 1:1); (7) has the scriptural worship-prayer, singing, giving, taking of the Lord's Supper each Sunday, and teaching (Acts 2:42; Acts 20:7); (8) has the scriptural terms of entrance-faith, repentance, confession, and water baptism (Mk. 16:16; Acts 2:38; Rom. 10:9-10); and (9) has the scriptural nature-denominational (its conditions of entrance are the conditions of salvation (Acts 2:38-47).

If we will take our Bible and find the identifying characteristics of the church described in the Bible and go and find the Church that identifies with them. The Church with all the identifying marks of the New Testament Church is the New Testament Church. The Church of Christ is the New Testament Church. We need to encourage everyone we have contact with to make a personal investigation and see for themselves. Our souls depend on it, for the conditions of salvation are the conditions into this one Church. -- Dean Webb
