What do the Jehovah’s
Witnesses, Mormons, Catholics, and the Church of Christ
denomination all have in common? They each claim to have THE Way; THE Truth;
and THE Life, and that no one gets to heaven without being a part of their
organization! We do not have
an organization! Certainly they can't all be right
since their individual doctrinal beliefs are diametrically opposed to one
another. Yes one is
right. I know that you think that you
are right, if you did not think you were right you would be going to church
some where else. The Bible says that every man is right in his own sight. (Prov. 21:2) You condemn others and claim you do not make
such judgments. Thinking that you are right is no great evil,
we just openly admit what you will not.
On this web
site we will endeavor to examine the claim of the Church
of Christ to be God's sole
representative on the earth today, and answer the question, "Is the Church of Christ Denomination A Cult? What is your definition of a cult. If it is
someone who is trying to go right by the scripture, then yes I am. I am Church of Christ
and I do not claim to be God’s sole representative on earth. I just claim to go by the Bible and teach
what it teaches and follow that, not the ideas of men. You will notice that most scriptural quotations are taken
from the New American Standard Bible, which is considered by most scholars to
be the most literal word for word translation extant today. You make statements but do not give any
proof of what you are saying is correct.
But it is ok with me, if you use the American Standard Bible. I use the KJV, because I like it. I learned scripture with it. I grew up using it and can quote it.
We will break this study into three main concerns:
1. Who Is The Church of Christ? - Who are they ?
A) Are They a Denomination? Answer
2. What Do They Believe?
A) Baptismal Regeneration Answer
B) No Musical Instruments In WorshipAnswer
C) Rejection of the Holy Spirit Answer
3. Conclusions - Answer to his conclusion
A) Their Tactics
B) Are They a Cult?
C) Closing Comments
The meat of this
study will be contained in segment two where we will examine their beliefs in
the Light of Scripture. Our goal is not to proclaim them to be outside of the
Body of Christ, but to simply show the errors in their claim to be the only "True Body
of Christ." And though most branches of this denomination are not
considered to be an actual cult, much of the organization is
"cultic," and this web site will attempt to show you why.
We will show that you are
wrong in this presentation, and that your interpretation of scripture is only
partially correct. The fact that every
congregation answers to God and not to man or some council of men, the fact
that we have no organization beyond the local congregation, provides for
variations in the individual congregations.
If this makes us a cult, then we are guilty as accused. We will discuss this in more detail later.
