I am pretty sure they don't have a sign "church of Christ" on the building. So Mysty that was a good point...and Don was also trying to say just cause you were "baptized" doesn't mean you were saved. Lots of people get wet all the time....but it is being obedient completely to God that saves a man from his lost state. |
Yep, that is what I meant....
Well stated brother Rob.
We need to remember that a scriptural name does not mean it is a scriptural (sound) congregation of the Lord's Church. Example: Richland Hills Church of Christ near Dallas. Also, a scriptural name does not mean it is even part of the Lord's Church. Example: The Church of God denomination. They have a scriptural name but are not part of the Church taught in the Bible.
Kindly,
