Hi Charlie:

There's only one true church, the one that teaches what the bible says, all these other creeds and doctrines just divide people and a look at the bible reveals this to be true.
The idea that there is only
one true church (
ekklesia #1577) is 100 percent NONSENSE. A ‘church’ is merely a
‘called-out assembly’ like Israel called out of Gentiles and believers in our gospel are ‘called out’ from among unbelievers. Israel is called the
‘church/assembly’ in the wilderness (
Acts 7:38) and ChristÂ’s
‘My church’ (
Kingdom Church = #1*) was called by the
‘Gospel of the Kingdom’ (
Gospel #1**)
‘before’ He shed one drop of blood for anybody. The Apostle Paul is the ‘only’ apostle to address
our ‘mystery’ church/assembly (#2*) saved by God’s Grace through faith ‘apart’ from works by obedience to
‘our gospel’ for today (Gospel of the Grace of God = #2**).
I have worked in the Anglican Church in England and was raised in the Baptist Church here in Florida and spend six years sitting, standing and kneeling in Catholic Churches. I have worked for years with the Dispensationalists (all kinds from Traditional to Ultras to Hypers) and those from the Evangelical and Fundamentalist-type Denominations; to the Greek Orthodox and all the way from A to Z in the USA and abroad. And yes, I spent years working with the members of the “Church of Christ” (two different groups/churches) and can tell you with 100 percent certainty that their ‘good news’ is
a works-based gospel message that includes works, works and more works.
The Church of Christ has blended the
“Two Gospels of the New Testament” together into a abomination that God sent to NOBODY; just like the Anglicans, Baptists, Catholics and the rest. While some among the Dispensationalists are preaching Paul’s
“Word of the Cross” (
1Cor. 1:18) gospel message (#2), even many from that denomination have
Christ’s ‘water’ ministry (Kingdom) mixed with
His ‘blood/grace’ ministry without having one clue about the difference. All of those blinded by
Denominationalism (Mystery of Iniquity =
2Thes. 2:7-12) are
‘servants of righteousness’ serving their
‘angel of light’ (
2Cor. 11:14-15) without having any idea that
Satan has blinded them from seeing
‘our gospel’ (
2Cor. 4:3-4 = see
2Peter 3:14-16) and his
‘deluding influence’ has them by the nose.
What most of you think is real Christianity (Roman Catholicism, Greek Orthodoxy and Protestantism) is in realty the
“Church of Antichrist” (
left side of diagram), which is
the primary ‘religion’ of the USA; and just one more reason that America is primed for utter destruction for
‘many’ (
Matt. 7:13-14) very good reasons indeed . . .
