Putting any ruin of the Reformation in place of the true Church of Christ is absolutely in error. The handing down of the Faith goes back to what Jesus taught the Apostles. It does not include those who create their own faith by gazing at the content of their navels.

YAWN. Yea, we know, we heard it before, in our navels, between our toes, in our cornflakes, in the mirror, yada, yada, yada. Funny thing though, if such a thing actually happens, why is it that most of us on this "side" are in agreement about the major tenets of the Christian faith? I do not know ANY of the people I pinged in this post, have no idea what church they attend or if they attend a formal church, but I believe what they believe about Jesus, the Bible, salvation by grace through faith, eternal life is a gift of God. Though we may differ on nonessentials, we hold to what Scripture teaches and we have no problem with unity in the major things. We DO believe in the faith taught by Jesus and what God further revealed to the Apostles and disciples and what they, in turn, wrote down for us so that we can know what their faith was and we can follow it, too.

This "true Church of Christ", I'm happy to say, consists of all those who hold to the same faith of those early believers. We are all part of that universal body of Jesus Christ, no time like the present to get used to the idea.

Exactly...and I agree Boatbums...and having moved many times in my life it was necessarry to find another church fellowship...I knew what to look for in determining a church and it always rested on if or not the Pastor adhered to the scriptures and the Gospel of Jesus Christ...and preached this. Which would then require a second visit if they did where I would investiagate further.

So yes, in all case where the scriptures were clearly spoken and taught...and the Salvation message was given...there was good fellowhip....even with a stranger.

"we hold to what Scripture teaches and we have no problem with unity in the major things"

Amen bb! Count me in.

You aren't. You are only in agreement about antiCatholicism. And in the chicken bones or dice for formulating theology.

As long as they are not truly of the Church of Christ, but in some knockoff facsimile that only remotely resembles the Church that Christ Created and the Holy Spirit commissioned at Pentecost.
