The Church of Christ . . .
Christ-centered
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved." Acts 4;12
"But we
preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and
unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called,
both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of
God." 1 Corinthians 1:23-24
"And
he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he
is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the
preeminence." Colossians 1:17-18
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God
and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for
all, to be testified in due time." 1 Timothy
2:5-6
Bible-based
"These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee
shortly: But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou
oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the
church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."
1 Timothy 3:14-15
"If any man teach
otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of
our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to
godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about
questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife,
railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt
minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is
godliness: from such withdraw thyself." 1 Timothy
6:3-5
"All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man
of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good
works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Evangelistic
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the
world. Amen." Matthew 28:19-20
"Then
they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same
day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And
they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and
fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."
Acts 2:41-42
Service-oriented
"Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave
thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or
naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison,
and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them,
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
Matthew 25:37-40
"I have shewed you
all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak,
and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is
more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35
"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the
Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their
affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
James 1:27
Not a denomination
"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which
shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be
one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also
may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent
me." John 17:20-21
"Now I
beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions
among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same
mind and in the same judgment." 1 Corinthians 1:10
"For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among
you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and
walk as men?" 1 Corinthians 3:3
