1 | Did other churches use intruments | Eph 5:19 | gospelmann | 167529 | ||
With the sincerest of bortherly love to you Doc and to you Marcus allow me to correct some misstatements with Doc's reply. I belong to the church of Christ and this body of believers was not founded by Alexander Campbell or any other man. I say this not out of arrogance but out of simple fact. The fouder was Jesus Christ and if you go to any church that says it was founded by any one else then you need to leave 1cor3:11. The reformation movement that began so many centuries ago with men like Martin Luther and Tyndal and others was a recognition that the church had gotten away from the pattern that scripture outlines. The problem is that to many groups have stopped reforming. They have stopped trying to get back to the origional church. I personally do not want to belong to a man made institution but rather to Christ's body. I believe that any and all fellowships of believer can be that if that will put aside themselves and put in Christ and His word only. After all what is better an origional or a copy. Also Doc, I have never called myself a "Campbellite" and never even knew who he was till I was in my mid 30's. I am a christian, first last and always 1cor1:10-13, acts 11:26. To wear any other name would be like my wife coming to me and saying she no longer wanted to be known by my last name but by another man's last name. I have spiritually married Christ and humbly wear His great and glorious for there is none to compare to it. Finally on instruments, a little background: in about 1045 A.D. a huge split occurred out of which we now have the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox. One of the reasons for the split was the use of instruments in worship. To the best of my knowledge the Orthodox Church still does not use them. Why not?To sum up what is a very long and detailed reason, we have no Biblical authority to use them, and all the internal and external evidence shows that the early church did not use them. Speaking personally, I play the guitar a little but the is no instrument made by man that can compare to the sound of the voice and heart of a loving christian worshipping God and His Son. In Christian Love |

His initial statements are reflective of the "true church theory." They are highly exclusionistic, believing that the Lord Jesus Christ has a specific organization here on earth today, complete with a name, membership, and a leadership; i.e., themselves. In this respect they are very similar to the Unification Church of of Yong Myung Moon. The true church theory does not find foundation in Scripture. Everyone who has received Christ as their Saviour is a member of His church, which is a spiritual body of born-again believers (Ephesians 4:4; 5:23-32; Colossians 1:18-24; Hebrew 12:23; Revelation 19:7; 5:9-10; 21:9) Thank you for your explanation, Gosp. |

dear brother doc, The scripture you qoute in eph4:4 says there is one. Chapter 5 says there is a singular body not many bodies. With the greatest respect,I belong to the one true church. It is the only one to belong to. If I didn't believe it was the one true church I would immediately leave. Don't you likewise believe where and how you worship is the true way to follow after Jesus. Of course you do. Ultimately, it won't be what I think or what you think but what scripture says, how we practice what it says, and most increble of all the power of the blood of Jesus Christ to wash away our sins. Thank you for your consideration. In Christian Love Dan |

John 4:19-24 KJV 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. |
