Church of Christ

[finaldesire]

You don’t even know what church I’m referring to. You keep confusing them. I suggest you read up on scripture and different doctrines so you actually know what you’re debating.

I'm with you Elizabeth, did you know that Beth means house.

Bladerunner, please listen to me. You are very, very confused. The Church of Christ is not the Mormon Church, it is not a branch of the Mormon Church, it has nothing to do with the Mormon Church. There is no such thing as a "Mother church in MO" when it comes to the Church of Christ. The Churches of Christ do not even have a central organization, each church is independent of the other. Joseph Smith, Moroni and the White Salamander have nothing to do with the Church of Christ. They have no prophets, apostles or holy underwear. You need to rest and do more research about this issue before replying .

did some quick research. There appears to be Two groups calling themselves the Church of Christ . They are separate and district.
one did come from the Mormon church the other was a part of the restoration Movement. The one from the Mormon group is non Trinitarian in the same way as the Mormons the other is Trinitarian . The one from the Mormon group holds the Book of Mormon to be of value the other Church Of Christ holds only the Bible to be authoritative. They have no connection to each other . There is two district histories for each group . The Church Of Christ from the Mormon group also adds “temple lot” to the end of their name at times but it is not often. There appears to be no commingling of founders or any of their doctrines . Just two district groups with the same name

Very interesting!

Even though this link is about the founding of the Mormon Church, apparently they originally called themselves the Church of Christ. It was later changed to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or the Mormon Church.

The Church of Christ this WHOLE THREAD is about is the church that was essentially "founded" by Thomas and Alexander Campbell, and Barton W Stone, in the early 1800's...

If you try to call the Mormon Church the Church of Christ today, people will think you are a fool. The two churches are completely different.

Again, the one you are apparently railing against is now known as the Mormon Church, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints....... founded by Joseph Smith in the late 1800's.

The one from the Mormon group left the Mormons when the office of President and prophet were adopted by the Mormons they chose the name Church Of Christ Temple Lot but usually call themselves the Church Of Christ. That’s the confusing thing.

Just to clarify, the Church of Christ are not Mormons! There are several doctrines out there that have ‘church of christ’ in their name- such as “The Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints, another being “The United Church of Christ.” But these are not the Church if Christ, they are false doctrines. The real Church of Christ follows the doctrine of Christ only.

Yea I get what you are saying. I apologize if my post was confusing. I was just trying to clear up the misunderstanding about the two groups. I know that the Church Of Christ is not Mormon. It’s very confusing if you just look at what they call themselves. Just look back on this thread and will see . Also note there is several other groups that also call themselves Church Of Christ that are not even affiliated with the two that have been confused with each other here . It’s a shame.When will we ( mankind) learn ? Rhetorical question.
There is only one Church of saved believers and it crosses many denominations.

I got that you were trying to show that. I just want readers to know for certain that the church of Christ is not Mormon, because I belong to the Church of Christ and I could not in all good conscience read that without clarifying myself that the church is not affiliated with such false doctrines. Because someone on here might be searching for the truth.

We aren’t a charismatic congregation.

Baptism of the spirit is just associated with charismatics by name, They do not understand what it means. All people will be baptised by the HS if they are gods chidren.

It does not mean they will have gifts of the spirit. It just means they have been born again.

This thread is getting me curious about visiting a Church of Christ or Church of God either one,simply for "learning purposes" as well as "intrigue".

I believe Church of God is pentecostle.. or as my dad used to call them. Holy Roller

For the umpteenth time, Ths CoC and the LDS are not the same churches. Nor are they related. Nor are they or have they ever been associated together.

Please stop with the comparisons.

About the only thing that links the two churches are they both believe in water baptismal regeneration. Other than that,. There is nothing remotely similar between the two churches

I believe the “united” church of Christ is the name of the break away church which originally started in Boston that I spoke of earlier in the thread.

I think that is correct. The so-called "Boston Movement"....

THOSE folks are truly cultic in behavior... a dangerous group to affiliate with.

They are, to the real Churches of Christ, what the Westwood Baptists are to the real Baptist churches. Name only.

Sadly, I had dealings with that church, Yes they are a cult, which enslaves their members by using fear based tactics. I even saw a group of them literally beat a person who left their church to a pulp in a bible bookstore as punishment for leaving their church.

 

[so-jesus-e-deus]

I am just curious.

Is there anyone here that is/are members of the Church of Christ?

Jesus isn't polygamous, neither promiscuous, that is, He haven't a bride and several lovers, neither He haven't a harem.
So, who believes truly in Christ belongs to His Church.

What does this have to do with the Church of Christ or any church for that matter?

Very,very wrong. The United Church of Christ was formed in 1957 and has no connection to the CoC. The "Boston" group you are speaking of is called the International Church of Christ which does have roots in the CoC but broke off because of internal church leadership styles and misuse of authority issues.

Well, well, Aren’t you happy to expose me as a false teacher. I bet you jumped on this< ( I finally get to expose EG as a heretic. EG is not only wrong, he is wrong wrong!!)

I never stated it as fact, I was saying I believe (Most people who say this are saying they think this is what it is, but they ar not sure) they were the same.

However, You are right, I knew the boston church went to another name, it actually moved out of Boston last I heard and went west somewhere, but I could be wrong about this too.

but, If I made you happy trying to correct me, Then so be it

I admit, I was wrong,, Unlike others, I am not afraid to do that, and have proven it time and time again.

(by the way, A more christian response would have been, Eg, I think maybe you misunderstood, The international church (Actually just hearing this word, I would have admitted i was wrong) church was the boston church, Not the united. They were a different churhc non related)

built then again, After knowing you, I would not expect that. So be it
