Subject: Only church |
Bible Note: The only "church" that will go to heaven is the one made up of sincere believers in Christ. They may be found in any assembly but only those who obey the whole counsel of God will receive His blessings. This friend who said that the church of Christ is the only church that which will go to heaven is right in the sense that this church is the one Christ purchased with his blood but I don't think this was the intent of what was said. You can take 10 people and sit them side by side, have them read a chapter out of the bible and then tell you what they believe it says. Chances are you will get 10 totally different responses. This is interpretation. On the other hand you can study it for what it is and discern what GOD meant it to say. This is proper bible study. 2 Pet 1:20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation |
