True Christian Church based on what Christ established...?

Question

Christ organized the Church (Eph 4:11-14)
Must bear the name of Jesus Christ (Eph 5:23)
Must have a foundation of Apostles and Prophets (Eph 2:19-20)
Must have the same organization as Christ's Church (Eph 4:11-14)
Must claim divine authority (Heb 5:4-10)
Must have no paid ministry (1 Cor 9:16-18; Acts 20:33-34; John 10:11-13)
Must baptise by immersion (Matt 3:13-16)
Must bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands (Acts 8:14-17)
Must practice divine healing (Mark 3:14-15)
Must teach that God and Jesus are seperate and distinct individuals (John 17:11; 20:17)
The officers must be called by God (Heb 4:4; Ex 28:1; 40:13-16)
Must claim revelation from God (Amos 3:7)
Must be a missionary church (Matt 28:19-20)
Must practice baptism for the dead (1Cor 15:16&29)

What Church fits?

And the Apostles could bestow such gifts because they were ordained by the laying on of hands to be Apostles, by priesthood authority. So a church who had Apostles ordained by the same authority could bestow such gifts.

Christ ordained a pope?

Answer 1

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints !!!

THIS IS THE ONLY CHURCH ON THE EARTH THAT HAVE & PERFORM EVERYTHING FROM THE LIST YOU GAVE.

Here's one for you:
What do you call a LDS on LSD?
- A high priest

Answer 2

BUT, the gifts were bestowed ONLY by laying on of the APOSTLES' hands.

"Paid ministry"… You are improperly considering a very narrow portion from the context of 1Corinthians 9. Read the context of the passage and see if you can justify your claim:
1Corinthians 9:4 Don’t we have the right to eat and drink? 5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife with us when we travel? The other apostles do. The Lord’s brothers do. Peter does. 6 Or are Barnabas and I the only ones who have to work for a living?
7 Who serves as a soldier but doesn’t get paid? Who plants a vineyard but doesn’t eat any of its grapes? Who takes care of a flock but doesn’t drink any of the milk? 8 Do I say that from only a human point of view? The Law says the same thing.
9 Here is what is written in the Law of Moses. “Do not stop an ox from eating while it helps separate the grain from the straw.” Is it oxen that God is concerned about? 10 Doesn’t he say that for us? Yes, it was written for us. When a farmer plows and separates the grain, he does it because he hopes to share in the crop.
11 We have planted spiritual seed among you. Is it too much to ask that we receive from you some of the things we need? 12 Others have the right to receive help from you. Don’t we have even more right to do so?
But we didn’t use that right. No, we have put up with everything. We didn’t want to keep the good news of Christ from spreading... Clearly Paul is arguing in the context FOR those who minister to be supported, though he refused to take that support on a several occasions.

“claim revelation from God” That’s easy, the Bible.

“missionary church” many are, but there are difficulties, just like New Testament times.

"Baptism in place of the dead" -- "Paul mentions this custom almost in passing, using it in his arguments substantiating the resurrection of the dead, but without necessarily approving the practice." - Zondervan NIV Study Bible Notes (Fully Revised), Kenneth L. Barker, General Editor, Donald W. Burdick, John H. Stek, Walter W. Wessel, Ronald Youngblood, Associate Editors, Copyright (c) 1985, 1995, 2002

"Jesus and God separate" Why this FALSE DOCTRINE??? Titus 2:11 God’s saving grace has appeared to all people. 12 It teaches us to say no to godless ways and sinful longings. We must control ourselves. We must do what is right. We must lead godly lives in today’s world. 13 That’s how we should live as we wait for the blessed hope God has given us. We are waiting for Jesus Christ to appear in all his glory. He is our great God and Savior... Add to this the 40+ times when John tells us of the divinity of Jesus, along with Matthew and Isaiah telling of it, and it becomes a strongly backed element of Biblical theology.

“And the Apostles could bestow such gifts because they were ordained by the laying on of hands to be Apostles, by priesthood authority. So a church who had Apostles ordained by the same authority could bestow such gifts.”
-- The Greek word translated “hand” is used 168 times in the New Testament. NONE say that the apostles were ordained by the laying on of hands. The idea of apostolic succession is foreign to the New Testament. There is no prescription to be followed and it has been about 1900 years since anyone TRULY spoke in tongues as described in scripture. I don’t know what you mean by “priesthood authority,” but scripture tells us that we are ALL PRIESTS who serve under our GREAT HIGH PRIEST, JESUS. NO church has apostles TODAY who were ordained by the same authority.

“Christ ordained a pope?”
Very simple… NO!!!

Answer 3

hey its the mormon church haha

2 Nephi
During the Vietnam War, a group of soldiers were ambushed. Fire was exchanged and during it all, a young LDS soldier was hit in the chest. The others had no choice but to retreat, leaving their friend's body in the tall grass.

Later that night, back at the camp, they saw a figure moving towards them. One of the soldiers yelled out, "Who goes there?" Out of the shadows stumbled the LDS soldier. The group stood in disbelief, wanting to know how he survived.

The LDS soldier reached into his jacket and pulled out a pocket version Book of Mormon with a bullet lodged in it. Holding it high in the air he exclaimed, "Nothing, and I mean nothing, gets through Second Nephi!"

A priest was walking down the street one day when he saw a group of young boys sprinkling water on top of some newborn kittens. Curious, the priest went up to them, and asked "What are you boys doing?" They replied innocently "We're baptising these kittens so they can be catholic." The priest smiled, praised the boys and walked away. A few weeks later, the priest was walking down the same street and saw the same group of boys huddled around a wash tub. They were very carefully dunking the same group of kittens one by one into the water. The priest, more curious than before, came up and asked the boys "What are you doing this time?" The boys replied "Well, now we're baptizing kittens to be mormon." The priest, puzzled, said "But isn't this the same group of kittens that you baptized to be catholic a few weeks ago?" Without blinking, the boys responded "Yes. But now their eyes are opened."

Here's two I just thought of:

What is a missionary's favorite dinner?
-Salisbury Stake! lol

Where do Boy Scouts meet for guidance?
-Firesides! lol

Answer 4

I know of no churches like that. Maybe you could start a movement to 'restore' the right church? Oh, wait, that's been done before.
I disagree with about half of your "musts". You have taken a lot out of context, but hey, why not another denomination? Bring in the sheaves, I say, any way they are willing to come.

Answer 5

The only Church that is based on what Jesus Christ established, and not on modern traditions of men, is the Church He Himself founded, personally instituting its sacraments, ordaining its first priests and appointing its first bishops and pope. The only Church that can trace its history directly back to Jesus Christ and the Apostles. And I'm sure I don't have to tell you which Church that is.

Answer 6

>>True Christian Church based on what Christ established...?<<

Have fun being in the 'Church BASED on what Christ established'; I'll stick with the Church Christ ACTUALLY established -- the one with Peter and his successors (Matthew 16:17-19; John 21:15-17; Acts 1:20).
