1 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Hank | 64436 | ||
FTimA: I note from your user profile that you are a member of the group known as "The Church of Christ," which comes as no surprise to me, having guessed it from your first post. Although it claims not to be a denomination, it fits the definition hand in glove. ..... Furthermore, allow me to quote a sentence from your user profile and susequently question you about it. The quote is, "Denominationalism is a product of Satan working through men to thwart the truth of the one true church." Strong words, those, and by them do you mean to say that the denomination of which I happen to be a member, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), is a product of Satan? Are you prepared to aver and prove that the Presbyterian, Methodist, Assemblies of God, Lutheran, Catholic, etc. are also products of Satan? These, friend, are strong words indeed, and you will need to "gird up your loins" in a most extraordinary manner in order to defend this outright attack on the majority of the members of this forum. --Hank | ||||||

How many churches are mentioned in the Bible? The churches of Asia (1 Corinthians 16:9) The churches of Christ (Romans 16:16) The church of Ephesus (Revelation 2:1) The churches of Galatia (1 Corinthians 16:1) The church of the firstborn (Hebrews 12:23) The churches of the Gentiles (Romans 16:4) The church of God (Acts 20:28, 1 Corinthians 1:2, 10:32, 11:22, 15:9, Galatians 1:13, 1 Timothy 3:5) The churches of Judea (Galatians 1:22) The church of the Laodecians (Colossians 4:16, Revelation 3:3) The churches of Macedonia (2 Corinthians 8:1) The church of the Thessalonians (1 Thessalonians 1:1) The word church appears in the New Testament approximately 108 times. These are just a few. The key though is that in every occurrence it refers to the same one, the one body purchased by the blood of Christ. In Acts 20:28, Paul says to the elders of the church at Ephesus, “Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.” Where do you find "Presbyterian, Methodist, Assemblies of God, Lutheran, Catholic, etc." in the bible? |
