Why Do We - - - Try to Restore the Church? What is the restoration movement seeking to do?

Introduction This is not a history lesson about the Restoration Movement Our recent history (last 200+ years) is connected with this movement. Is this movement Biblical and valid? Focus on the Plea for unity.

Faith in one true God But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6) Faith is the first requirement.

Believe in the Deity of Christ 23 And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." (John 8:23-24)

Christ is our Authority And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. (Matthew 28:18) And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. (Mark 1:22)

Bible is Inspired Word of God All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16) for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:21)

Gospel is a plan of salvation For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. (Romans 1:16)

Church as in the New Testament Membership Worship Organization Work Fellowship

Use Bible terminology Call Bible things by Bible names Do Bible things in Bible ways If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (1Peter 4:11)

Unity of all believers Do away with doctrines of men Do away with creeds, and councils Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. (1 Corinthians 1:10)

True love and dedication to Christ 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." (John 13:34- 35)

THIS IS OUR PLEA TODAY Do what they did; Worship as they worshiped Be saved the way they were saved Will you be a part of the plea to go back to the Bible, restore the church of the New Testament? You will not belong to any denomination. You will be a New Testament Christian.

THIS IS OUR PLEA TODAY Will you be just a Christian? United in the teaching of Christ Speak where the Bible speaks Become the New Testament church
