THE CHURCH THAT CHRIST BUILT

Although the word “Church” was already in used before the Lord Jesus Christ used it, but we must understand this word as used by the Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles, or as used in the New Testament

What makes Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) unique?

WHAT MAKES THE 
IGLESIA NI CRISTO

(CHURCH OF CHRIST) 
UNIQUE?

The True Church Of Christ Has No Pope

THE CHURCH OF THE BIBLE 
HAS NO “POPE”

IT IS CLEAR from the Bible that the first century Church of Christ was led by the apostles and assisted by other ministers of the Gospel. Local churches were led by bishops, deacons and even deaconesses. However, nowhere in the Bible we can read that the whole Church was led by a “pope.”

"Church Of Christ" is the Official Name of the One True Church

THE ONE TRUE CHURCH HAS NO OFFICIAL NAME?

OTHERS DENY THAT the one true Church established by the Lord Jesus Christ has an “official name.” They even asked, “Where in the Bible can you read that the Church built by the Lord Jesus Christ has an official name?” This is what they insist because of the fact that the name of their church cannot be read in the Bible and they are not called in the name “Church of Christ.”

The Origin of the Catholic Church and Other Churches Not of Christ

THE ORIGIN OF OTHER CHURCHES

SOME PEOPLE HAVE the notion that all the established churches today belong to Christ. Others wonder why there is such a proliferation of churches that are in conflict with one another when in fact, there is only one Church established by Christ. The origin of these various churches was taught by Christ in one of His parables.

The Church that Jesus Christ built

THE CHURCH THAT CHRIST BUILT

IT IS A biblical fact that the Lord Jesus Christ established a Church. No one denies this truth because it is explicitly written in the Bible. In Matthew 16:18 the Lord Jesus Christ said:

“And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18 NKJV, emphasis mine)

Etymologically speaking, the word “church” is the English translation of the Greek word “ekklesia” which literally means an “assembly.” However, although this word was already in used before the Lord Jesus Christ used it, but we must understand this word as used by the Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles, or as used in the New Testament.

Thus we must understand the word “Church” through what the Bible teaches about it. What is the “Church” built by Christ according to the Bible?

Not All Churches Are Of God And Of Christ

NOT ALL CHURCHES ARE OF GOD AND OF CHRIST
