I’m part of a different Christian-professing church or denomination, doesn’t that make me then also a believer?” Well, consider the Bible’s answer to those who may think like that. Maybe someone might say, “Well, I’m already part of a different denomination. They were baptized into “them,” baptized into the Church. Why? Because that’s where the believers were baptized into. So why is it important for you to be baptized into the true Church? Because-being part of the true Church is important. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.īrother Bob: So, the term “them” in the verse that we read refers to the Church-and of course, the true Church. Praising God, and having favour with all the people. Well, let’s turn here to chapter 2:47 in the book of Acts. Then those who gladly received his word were baptized and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.īrother Bob: So, dear friends, the Bible clearly says here that those who believed and were baptized “were added to them.” What does the term “them” refer to? Those that they were “added to,” those that underwent the true baptism. And to do so, we turn to the book of Acts 2:41, where it says: So, we’ll be turning today to the Bible to answer these following questions: First, why is it important for me, you, everyone, to be baptized into the true Church? And secondly, what if one would say, “Well, I’m already part of a particular Christian church or denomination, aren’t I then a believer?” And next, “How can I differentiate between the Church Of Christ and the various Protestant churches?” Let’s start with the first question: Why is it important for me to be baptized into the Church? Let’s go directly to the Holy Bible and begin receiving our answers. Now, we want to clarify, as we always do, that the Bible questions we address on this program are regarding proper worship, the right relationship with God, and most importantly, salvation-those answers are most definitely found right here, in the Holy Bible. The basis of the teachings here inside the Church Of Christ is, first and foremost, the Bible-the Holy Scriptures. Why are we sure? Let’s find the answer in the Holy Bible.īrother Bob: Hello everyone! Welcome once again to this program, That’s in the Bible. The true Church is only one organization. It’s simple enough, but it gets complicated because many preachers today teach that the true Church is made up of everyone who truly believes in Christ, regardless of what denomination or church they belong to.
Thus there fell at that time 42,000 of Ephraim.That’s In the Bible – How Do I Know I’m a True Christian?īrother Bob Pellien: If you believe you are a Christian, you likely accept the biblical truth that Christ built a Church. Then they seized him and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. And it happened when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me cross over," the men of Gilead would say to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he said, "No," then they would say to him, "Say now, 'Shibboleth.'" But he said, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it correctly. Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought Ephraim and the men of Gilead defeated Ephraim, because they said, "You are fugitives of Ephraim, O Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasseh." The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan opposite Ephraim.
Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?" read more. "When I saw that you would not deliver me, I took my life in my hands and crossed over against the sons of Ammon, and the LORD gave them into my hand.
Then the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they crossed to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, "Why did you cross over to fight against the sons of Ammon without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down on you." Jephthah said to them, "I and my people were at great strife with the sons of Ammon when I called you, you did not deliver me from their hand.
