The Bible is the word of God and can be used for our doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction. Using it in this way, the man of God can be completely furnished with everything needed for spiritual life and godliness, so there is no need to add any man made doctrine. (2 Timothy 3:17-17, 2 Peter 1:3)
We wish to teach what the Bible teaches, speak where the Bible speaks, be silent where the Bible is silent, do Bible things in Bible ways and call Bible things by Bible names.
Those in Acts 2 all heard the same message, about 3000 understood it the same way, believed it the same way, and obeyed it the same way. They became Christians, nothing more. They were not members of any denomination. No denominations even existed.
We believe if we read and understand what they were taught, and believe and obey what they were taught, we will become what they became - Christians - nothing more, nothing less.
If you wish to know more, please contact me and I will be happy to send you a free instructional DVD, or see one of the sites listed below.
(Also, please do not confuse those who simply go by the name "church of Christ" with the "United Church of Christ", the "International Church of Christ" or the "Church of Christ Scientists". These other groups teach and practice things that are drastically different from the church of Christ.)

We believe "No creed but Christ." We believe church shouldn't be centralized like Catholicism. That only Jesus should be the head of the church and we recognize Scripture as God's primary means of revelation. In contrast to Catholicism which believe church tradition is equal to the authority of scripture.

Can not answer because there is currently more than one church that uses that title. (There is no copyright law on church names) Why don't you ask them? Then if you have questions about what they say they believe, repost the questions (or e-mail me) and we might be able to answer specifics.

They believe in going expressly by Scriptures and their belief is completely based by the Scriptures . All the instructions in the Bible under the New Testament are used in their daily lives . They don't sugar coat anything or change the way the Bible says to live . Praise Jesus ! He is Lord . Peace to you and God bless you .

I used to be a member of that church...and my son nearly paid for my foolishness with his life.
I have only one bit of advice for anyone thinking about getting involved in it, and that is
DON'T!!!!!!

I dont go to church, that doesnt matter, as long as you believe in your heart that Jesus died for your sins and confess it with your mouth (can be to only 1 person) and GOD loves you.
