Is Your Church In The Bible

Greetings neighbor. We pray that you may be enlightened by this written study which is designed to bring the Family back to the Scriptures (Holy Bible).

Men have deceived the masses by "so-called" Bible teachings and slogans which cannot be found in the Scriptures (Holy Bible).

Let us look at some of these deceptive phrases as we study on the subject - Is your Church in the Bible?

Not one of these statements can be found in the Bible. These statements persuade the listener to believe that there is more than ONE Church. This is against the teaching of the Bible.

In the Gospel according to Matthew, Chapter 16 verse 18 --- Jesus declares - "I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH!" MY is a possessive pronoun which denotes ownership. Jesus did NOT say churches; he said "MY CHURCH" - How many is that? (ONE) Notice further - ...and the gates of hell shall not prevail against IT! - How many is IT? (ONE)

Why then, is it that these "so-called" Preachers in this country are all in something they are calling a Church, But Jesus didn't build it? SUCH AS:

1. Baptist
2. Methodist
3. Lutheran
4. Catholic
5. Adventist
6. Mormon
7. Fire-Baptist Holiness
8. Pentacostal
9. Apostolic Faith
10. Russel (Jehovah's) Witness

None of these "so-called" Churches are found in the Bible. There are many others, I am sharing with you the "so-called" most popular ones.

Ephesians 4:4 states: ...ONE Body... The Body is the Church (Colossians 1:18); The Church is the Kingdom (Matt. 16:19). Please notice ---what a dilemma men are in if they were to use these other Scriptural names for The Church in their false slogans:

1) Join the BODY of your choice.
2) Join a healthy, well balance Kingdom.

Romans 16:16 states: ...the Churches of Christ salute you. Not these who were started by and originated with men. God does not recognize any other because His Son-Jesus Christ- had the authority to BUILD ONE and that authority wasn't given to man to BUILD ANOTHER.

Conclusion: Ephesians 5:23

The Church of Christ is the ONLY Church in the New Testament.
The Church of Christ is the ONLY Church of which Jesus Christ is the Savior.

If you can't find what you are calling a church in the Bible, it can't be from God. It can't have Heaven's blessing and is therefore on its way to the Lake of Fire. (Revelation 21:9)

It is our prayer that this lesson will encourage you to come out of false churches and seek us out for further studies in the Word of God.
