They are a ‘restorationist’ group - like the Mormons, SDA’S, JW’s, etc. Most of their teaching come from Alexander Campbell and one of the main players in the development of LDS theology was a Campbellite minister (Rigdon) before joining the LDS.

Like all Restorationist movements they believe all other churches are in error. That there was a great apostasy and that the denomination Christ founded needed to be restored.

Pretty much the theory behind the original Protestants, FTM.

ah — interesting. Each has a different idea of when the “Great Apostasy” happened. The CoC as per that link says that it occured in 550 AD while the Mormons push it back to 33 AD

Sir, unlike the followers of Joseph Smiths movement the Church of Christ only uses the Bible.

As to believing all were in apostasy, that is also not as I understand the Church of Christ view, as the Church was made by Christ and would be extant till his return.

This isn’t the denomination, “Church of Christ”, as in no instruments in worship?
