The church of Christ is not a denomination founded by man nor a part of any religious organization founded by man. It originated in Heaven in the mind of God and was set up on earth in the city of Jerusalem on the first Pentecost following the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Lord (Ephesians 3:8-11; Acts 2). Instead of working with denominations, members of the church of Christ plead that all bel
ievers in Jesus Christ heed His prayer for unity and become one in His bloodbought body, the church (John 17:20-21; Ephesians 4:4-6; Acts 20:28). The membership of the church of Christ is made up of all those who hear the Gospel of Christ, believe in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, repent of all their past sins, confess that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the living God, and are baptized (buried) in water for the remission of sins (Romans 10:17; John 8:24; Acts 17:30-31; Acts 8:37; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:4). Members who remain faithful unto death will receive the crown of life (Revelation 2:10; Galatians 6:7-9). The Bible speaks of but one church, the church of Christ (Ephesians 4:4; Colossians 1:18). Christ has promised to save His church at the Last Day (Ephesians 5:23). No salvation is promised to those out of Christ but instead they “shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power” (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9). Why not become a member of the church of Christ today so that you may have eternal life?
