Answer 3

The “church of Christ” is neither Catholic, nor Protestant. The church of Christ is not a denominational organization. The church of Christ identifies itself by name as a church that is trying to follow the “doctrine of Christ” (2 John 9). The “church of Christ” identifies itself by name as a church that belongs to Christ. The name points to the owner and builder. The name points to the one who purchased the church. (Matthew 16:18, Acts 20: 28)

In contrast to this the name of many denominations point to the name of a man, a particular practice, or the way they are organized. A member of a denomination identifies himself by name as one who submits to the authority of that denomination and tries to follow the doctrine (teaching) of that denomination. Why not just follow the doctrine and authority of Christ?

The church of the Bible is compared to a bride, with Christ being the groom. A bride honors the groom when she agrees to wear his name. But many churches today wear man made names.

Suppose, for example, Mr. Smith asks his girlfriend to marry him. She agrees, but says, “Our friend Mr. Jones is a good man, so when we get married, instead of being called Mrs. Smith, I want to be called Mrs. Jones.” Would Mr. Smith have a reason to question her loyalty to him? Would he feel honored? Why would a bride wear another man’s name? Why would a church want to wear a man-made name? The “church of Christ” wears a name found in scripture (Romans 16: 16).


The church of Christ wishes to restore the church to the teaching that was established and authorized by Christ and his apostles. We wish to have Biblical authority for everything we practice and teach. (Col. 3:17)

The Bible teaches that Jesus is the head of the church and the church is his body. (Eph. 1:22-23) The church of Christ recognizes this, and therefore there is no “headquarters” on earth. Each congregation is independent and goes directly to the Bible to learn what should be taught and how we should worship. We believe the Bible is sufficient and we need no other authority or creed books. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:3) Christ has “all authority” and we wish to follow this authority by following the things He taught. (Matt 28:18-20) We don’t want to add any man-made doctrine. (If we follow the authority or teaching of men, then Christ does not have “all authority” in our spiritual lives.) If we teach as doctrine the commandments of men, this makes our worship vain! (Matthew 15:9)

Please do not confuse the church of Christ with the “United Church of Christ”, the “International Church of Christ”, the “Church of Christ Scientists”, or the “Church of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints (Mormons)”. These groups are not the same and they teach drastically different things!

If you wish to know more about those who simply want to be New Testament Christians (nothing more, nothing less, nothing else), I invite you to investigate the church of Christ by comparison to the Scriptures! I have included a few web sites below that you might wish to visit, or you can e-mail me with any additional questions.

Thank you for your good question

Answer 4

Sound doctrine is the absence of heresy.

No young Christian can deal with heresies. The best thing for a young Christian to do is to turn away from them altogether. But if you are in a place without a church or if you are alone, here (go to source for this, "50. messages for building up new believers (3), identifying heresies") are ten criteria for you to test whether a teaching is heretical. If any of the ten criteria fits the description or if a person teaches any of these ten things, you have a heresy. What determines a group as heretical or not is not the volume of teachings it produces, but the presence or absence of heresy. As long as there is heresy, the group is off. I would rather listen to a message with little truth but no heresy than to listen to one with much truth mixed up with a little heresy. A little poison can kill a person. In the same way, a little leaven can leaven the whole lump. Some of these heresies can only be identified by men with special gifts. It may appear easy to identify these heresies, but in reality it is not that simple. We need to ask if a teaching has a little heresy in it. If it does, we have to discard it even if the rest is good.

If you are looking for one near your place, I recommend www.localchurches.org, may the Lord as the Good Samaritan lead you to the inn (His church).

Answer 5

Depending on where you are - find an evangelical congregation in your area. Ours has several: Missionary Alliance, Fellowship Christian, Koinonia. In my experience (ex Catholic - now an evangelical) if you want to find sound docterine, you will not find it in a major religious church such as episcopalian, anglican, catholic, lutheran etc. You have to search out a fellowship. If you are in the States, you'll have to do the homework, but here in Canada, Missionary Alliance and Christian Fellowships are sound.

Prayer, of course, should be your main recourse as you would desire to be at the fellowship that the Lord would have you serve in.
