any cofc members out there?

Church of Christ here. Liledoun Road Church of Christ in Taylorsville, NC.

The one Jesus purchased with his blood.

I just need to point out these things, I don't think the church of christ is full of unsaved people, but some of their doctrine is contrary to scripture:



I definitely don't agree with the fact that they say anyone who is not part of their congregation is "unsaved" (I don't know if you guys are in that boat, so if not, let me know.)

Here are some other questionable doctrines coming from this cofc thing:



I would consider myself non-denominational. I was saved from the depths of sin, and all it took was me and Jesus sitting there together. I began delving into his word and he spoke to my heart, I realized I was a sinner, repented of my sin, and asked Jesus to take over my life. It was a complete U-Turn on the road of life.

Radical and Permanent change. Thats what happens at the moment of salvation, and it catches everyone off guard, your entire family wonders what suddenly happened!

The Church of Christ I belong to is nondenominational.

We are a church of Christ in the most biblical way possible. Being Christians individually, together we are a church. We are baptized believers, raised to walk in “newness of life” (Romans 6:3-4) through faith in God’s work of salvation through Christ (Colossians 2:12). We are not perfect, but rather forgiven (Romans 3:23-24; I John 1:8-9).

We are a diverse group of Christians of varying ages and from different backgrounds, income levels, and education.

We are not ashamed to wear the name of our Lord; that is why the Bible identifies groups like us as churches of Christ (Romans 16:16), or more simply, the church. You may hear us refer to one another as brother or sister because we consider ourselves a family (Ephesians 2:19). You will not hear men being glorified for their position, wealth, or fame (Matthew 23:8-12).

We are not affiliated with any denomination, including those who may have “Church of Christ” in their names. We belong to “Him who called us by His own glory and excellence” (II Peter 1:3). After all, it is all about Him, isn’t it?

Individual churches of Christ are independent of each other. You will find many similar practices and teachings between different groups because we all use the Bible to guide us. Yet, each group is unique, just as we are all unique.

We believe that every word in the Bible came to us from the mind of God. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work” (II Timothy 3:16-17).

We seek to do all that God commands and nothing He has not authorized. We look to the Bible as our source of authority (Colossians 3:17). If God teaches us by a direct command of Jesus or his apostles, an example approved in the early church by the apostles, or by an inescapable conclusion drawn from the Bible, we do it; if not, we don’t.

That is what we teach from our pulpit. It is what we teach in our Bible classes. It is what we tell people we meet. We believe that the Bible is God’s Word, all of it, every word, and so we teach the Bible all the time (Psalms 119:160).

The Bible instructs us about whom we are to worship and how to worship. God is the center of our assemblies and we exalt the name of Jesus Christ. Our service is done with feeling, but it isn’t just about feeling; rather, it is about following God’s will for our worship.

“Let all things be done decently and in order” (I Corinthians 14:40).

If you are uncomfortable with the loud raucous, “show and tell” of some modern churches, you will enjoy worshiping with us. If you don’t appreciate politics in the pulpit, but long for the pure Word of God, you found the right place.

We are a church of Christ, striving to be nothing more or less. Quite simply, we belong to no denomination and have no earthly headquarters because Jesus alone is the head of the church (Ephesians 5:23; Colossians 1:18).

We have no creed or statement of faith. God gave us His book, and that is what we use. We believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and the considerable testimony in the Bible proves it. We wear no other name than the one disciples of Jesus wore in the first century – Christian (Acts 11:26).

As individual Christians, we see service to others as our privilege. It is why we are here. It is how we serve the Lord. To us, it is a joy! (I Timothy 6:17-19).

Our purpose is to praise and serve God and not to impress people (Galatians 1:10). God has been good to us. What better way to express gratitude than to share His goodness with others? “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith” (Galatians 6:10).

i am not trying to argue doctrine lol i just wanted to get a feel for the different types of groups here. i believe we are all christians. non of this one true church stuff. well besides what Christ says about His bride. we have to meet up to what He asks and no one else.
