Presentation transcript:

What if there is only one true church? Does God approve of many churches, or is there one true church? The Bible is the only reliable source for answering such a question. It describes one church, which is the body of those saved in Christ. The way into the body, the church, is through baptism.

Foundational Principles of The One True Church Christ is the founder and owner of one church Matthew 16:18 Acts 20:28 Christ is the foundation of one church 1 Cor. 3:11 There is to be conformity among local churches Acts 16:5 1 Cor. 4:17; 14:33 Revelation 2 & 3 Foundational Principles of The One True Church

2 Timothy 4:3-4 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”

Discovering the Manual and Membership Requirements of The One True Church

The Bible is the only authoritative guide for the faith and practice of Christians and churches The words of the New Testament have been given by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:12-13; Ephesians 3:3-5) The Scriptures “thoroughly equip” God’s people (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Christ has only one body; division in the body of Christ Is contrary to God’s Will Jesus prayed for the unity of those who would believe (John 17:20-21) The church is the body of the saved, and Christ is its head! (Eph. 5:23; 1:22-23) There is ONE church/body and we must strive to keep its unity! (Ephesians 4:3-6; 1 Corinthians 1:10-13)

To be a member of the church, the body of the saved, one must follow the teaching of the Scriptures Baptism into Christ and into His ONE BODY is a critical step! (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Galatians 3:26-27)

There is only one body, and baptism is the way into it! “For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body…” (1 Corinthians 12:12-13)
