“THE” CHURCH Acts 2:36-47

False Concepts Often hear reference to “the church” What do they have in mind? Some think of Catholic Church Not found in New Testament Others think of “all churches or denominations” as making up “the church” Some brethren have this concept

The Church Purposed Ephesians 3:10,11 Promised Matthew 16:18 Established Acts 2:36-47

Christ’s church or church of Christ The Church Identity Christ is builder – Mt. 16:18 Christ is head – Eph. 1:5:23 Christ is foundation – 1 Cor. 3:11 Is body of Christ – Eph. 1:22,23 Christ is Saviour – Eph. 5:23 “Saved” are the church Christ’s church or church of Christ

The Church Respects authority of Christ In how to become member – Acts 2 In worship In organization In work

What Must I Do To Be Saved? Hear the gospel (Rom. 10:17) Believe Jesus is Christ (Acts 8:37) Repent of your sins (Acts 17:30) Confess your faith (Mt. 10:32) Baptized for remission of sins (Acts 2:38) Faithful unto death (Rev. 2:10)
