Bible Question: I have a friend that says that their church which is the Church of Christ is the only church which will go to heaven. Throw out some feelings about where she finds this and how does she substantiate it. |
Bible Answer: For your information: The Church of Christ, The International Chuches of Christ and the Boston Movement (or Boston Church of Christ) can all be from the same Kip McKean from Boston. Two good sites to learn about them are: www.icoc.org, and, www.reveal.org for both sides of the story. This is a group I have previously been involved in and would suggest caution, discernment and lots of prayer. I have checked out the articles at equip.org and I would also advise caution as the information is misleading, though the intent is right. I think you will find the above two sites help to clarify what the equip.org articles are trying to say. May GOD be with your friend. |
