So the main, overall MISSION of any church I would ever want to be a part of would be to seek and save the lost.. there are many things that help model that goal - a heart of worship, showing the love of Christ by meeting the needs of others (Jesus almost always started out by meeting a physical need).. but if the ultimate goal is not to see souls saved, it’s the wrong goal
I love your studies in general. These beliefs are exactly what my Baptist church teaches. We are known as people of the book and are taught to evaluate everything against the bible. The bible being the final authority
The Church of Christ, in my experience, has caused significant harm to my family. I am thankful to God for rescuing me from this group, as they propagate misleading teachings. I urge anyone reading this to steer clear of them, as they have the potential to alienate you from your loved ones. Keep moving forward and do not associate with them.
Dont think he came to bring peace but a sword. Matthew 10:34-36. You dont argue from scripture or logic. Think about what u said. The church Jesus founded caused harm to ur family and then u thank God u left his church.

And over 50 subgroups of the Church of Christ. I am wondering what standard you used to determine that the Church of Christ is the only group in history trying to consistently restore Christianity in the world.
We are autonomous like how the church is in the bible. What do u mean we have 50 subgroups, how r u determining what a subgroup is? And thats not really an argument against what we teach.
I find one error with this presentation....... the Lord's Church has always been in existance since Acts 2. Continousouly. There are congregations of the Lord's Church, in the USA, that predate ANY Restoration Movement activites. While the activities, sermons and teachings out of the Restoration Movement are a tremendous help and should be studied, they are not the source of the church of Christ. They did not found or establish the church of Christ. There are congregations whose bullentins and articles can be pulled from materials in some of the oldest documents in some of the libraries in England. Those members refused to be called by any other name than Christian, they had the Lord's Supper weekly and would very much fit in with the congregations where I have attended over the years. And this material is scattered throughout libraries in jolly old England dating back to AD 350. See the book Traces of the Kingdom for a better handling of this. While I agree that the Lord's Church is vastly different than any denomination, it has been here since Acts 2.
I'm a member of a church of Christ, but just keep in mind that I do not speak on behalf of every congregation or even my own congregation, because the churches and beliefs are not monolithic. The churches of Christ are autonomous bodies of believers, each congregation operates within its own confines, under the headship of Christ and, to a lesser extent, under the leadership of appointed elders (pastors/shepherds/overseers) within each congregation. Speaking for myself and the limited knowledge I have of Anglicans, I consider them as fellow Christians. No doubt, while our theology might differ on some things, I believe we share the same fundamental understanding about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. We would most likely be in alignment over the Nicene Creed, although the churches of Christ do not formally endorse or abide by any creed that is not explicitly derived from the Scripture. But that doesn't mean we don't agree with various creeds, as long as they are biblically-based. As I indicated before, you'll find some variation between the churches of Christ when it comes to the "non-essentials", but we want to express charity in all things and have loving discussions about what we believe. We are all sinners in the hands of a loving God, so we just want to love Him, study His Word together, preach the truth, and love others as He loves us. Not sure if that helps, but that's my personal answer.
When St. Paul reached Ephesus he learnt that they were not heard about Holy Spurit. Then St. Paul asked which baptism have they taken...If they were baptised atleast they would have heard about Boly Soirit ie. When the discioles baptised they baptised in the name of Heavenky Father, The Sin of God and the Holy Spirit. (Trinity) At the tone if baptism of Christ Jesus presence of Father Son and the Holy Spirit cane together as one
Only to Churches mentioned in the Bible: the church of Christ and the church of God, which one in the same which is the Father, Son and Holy Ghost/Spirit, the three are One. Read the Holy Bible and find it for yourself.
Know this Brother Mike Mazalongo the Nursery should be "Utilized" so that the Spiritually Sick can be fed. Have you ever done a sermon on the importance of taking your noise making baby/toddler/child to the Nursery (so others can Hear) and how the noises that their baby/toddler/child makes may be of no big deal to the Mother of those babies/toddlers/children, but to those who have hearing problems or who just want to be able to hear "You Feed The Flock The Word Of God" may want to hear so that they may be comforted and Spiritually Fed the Word of God. If your Nursery doesn't have a speaker with your sermon coming through it, then install one and a closed caption TV Monitor with you on it Preaching, then install such equipment. We have enough Noise and Stress in our Lives. Church is the one place that should be a Refuge for the People of the Body of Christ. Why are Preachers so scared to address this issue. We had a Preacher at our church of Christ that would announce right before he started to Preach, " Ladies Please take your Babies/Toddlers/Children to the Nursery so that we can hear the Word of God. If anyone is offended by what I have said then go to God about it. Church use to be a good place to go to be Renew and Lifted up now the Noise is just like every other church. So Sad, So Sad. What has subtly crept into church, think about it really think about it???
The reason I’m asking is because what about the thief on the cross? He wasn’t baptized with water, but through faith, he was baptized by the Holy Spirit. Just trying to understand what the church of Christ believes
We are to rightly divide the word of truth (II Timothy 2:15). The word of truth is the gospel of our salvation (Ephesians 1:13-14). When we believe the gospel of the grace of God we are saved. I Corinthians 15:1-4 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. We are Spiritually baptized into the body of Christ upon salvation. I Corinthians 12:13 - For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
I would advise against it. They preach that you must be water baptized to have your sins remitted or else you will go to hell. The Bible tells us that the sins of the world were forgiven on the cross as recorded in II Corinthians 5:18-21. II Corinthians 5:18-21 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. All denominations (including the CoC) have one thing in common. They all preach that the church that is the body of Christ started on Pentecost. This means that they all combine the gospel of the kingdom which is recorded in Luke 1:30-33 (preached at Pentecost - see Acts 2:30) with the gospel of the grace of God recorded in I Corinthians 15:1-4 and preached ONLY by our Apostle Paul. Basically, if you believe the CoC doctrines for your salvation, then there is zero chance of salvation, because you do not understand and believe the true gospel. We are saved when we believe the gospel of the grace of God found in I Corinthians 15:1-4. This gospel was taught ONLY by our Apostle Paul. I Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
Excellent teaching - as usual. I appreciate this very much since I wanted to know what was particularly unique about the Church of Christ. Does anyone know how this compares to the Church of God?
They are both denominations that combine the gospel of the kingdom with the gospel of the grace of God and preach a combo gospel. We are not to combine the gospel of the grace of God with the gospel of the kingdom recorded in Luke 1:30-33. This gospel was taught by Peter and the 11. We are saved when we believe the gospel of the grace of God found in I Corinthians 15:1-4. This gospel was taught ONLY by our Apostle Paul.
@@MaLiArtworks186 Sorry, but that gospel of the kingdom was paused and the gospel of the grace of God was given to the entire world by our Apostle Paul. The gospel of the kingdom will be preached by the 144,000 during the Tribulation. Romans 3:4 - “…yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.” God is a faithful and true God. The Word of God is faithful and true. God will keep and fulfill every promise He has made to the nation of Israel regarding the promise of an eternal earthly kingdom as preached by Jesus while on earth and Peter and the 11. God will also fulfill the promises made to the church that is the body of Christ through our Apostle Paul. Those of us who believe by faith the gospel in the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be rewarded throughout eternity. You and others can call God a liar through your Replacement Theology and Covenant Theology. However, your lies cannot cover nor replace the truthfulness of God.
What is your teaching about The Heavenly Father( as the Vine dresser in John 15) who is glorified when the branches of the Vine branches bears fruits) Jesus keeps the commandments of the Heavenky Father who keeps His commandments ABIDES IN THE HEAVENLY FATHER HENCE HEAVENLY FATHER AND CHRIST JESUS ALONG WITH HOLY SPIRIT ARE ONE AND THE SAME HAVING DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS IN SALVATION AND LIFE AS CHRISTIANS. IT IS NOT A RELEGION But tye Only Way to Eternity with God Triunue or Trinity

St.Paul write that he spoke in other tongues mlre than many others.
He clarifies that those who spoke in other tpngues speak to God and get edified

Great video, so when you say that baptism is required for salvation, do you mean water baptism, or the baptism by the Holy Spirit through faith?
The reason I’m asking is because what about the thief on the cross? He wasn’t baptized with water, but through faith, he was baptized by the Holy Spirit.
Just trying to understand what the church of Christ believes

What is your take on the 10 commandments? Are we still supposed to keep them?
Of course. "Thou shalt not steal" etc, still applies, and so do some other things not mentioned in the commandments.
I also want to become member of church of christ kindly advise pl
Connect with a local church of Christ congregation in your region
Were you able to get in contact with one in your country or region?
I would advise against it. They preach that you must be water baptized to have your sins remitted or else you will go to hell. The Bible tells us that the sins of the world were forgiven on the cross as recorded in II Corinthians 5:18-21.
