Matthews Church of Christ We again thank the "pastor" of the Baptist church for his courageous response to our challenge. We pray that other RELIGIOUS LEADERS will come forth with the same courage. As always, we encourage each of you reading these Bible and read EV- Stripture referenced. Only in this way wiil you know whether we are our own words or the Words of God (cf. 1 Pet 4.11). The accusation was made that in challenge we failed to compare scripture with scripture. Yet, not one example of our failure was given. Again, one mans opinion is no better than another. Concerning the false things said about the churches of Christ: (1) The Bible col- leges, curriculum, publishers, etc. do not to the church. (2) We ordain EL- DERS according to the standards of he words to open your (1 Tim. 3:1-- Tit. 1:5-9- ). (3) Each congregation of the church of Christ is autonomous; therefore, we have no earthly liead or headquarters. Our only headquarters is in Heaven, where Chnst, Head of the church, is reigning on the right hand of God (cf. Acts Many people believe the church of (of which we are members) is a denomination Since "denomination' is not a Biblical term, we must go to the dictionary for a definition. Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines "denomination" as: (1) the act of naming. (2) a name; (3) a class or kind having a spe- eific name or value; as coins of different denominations; (4) a religious sect. The church of Christ is not a sect (though 2.31-36- ). called it thasee Acts 28.22, cf. Acts 14). So the term "denomination" sugDIVISION a world tlie to religious gests meaning the called out; "of" meaning longing to; "Christ" meaning we belong to Christ. If it were true that the church of Chnst is a denomination, then it would mean that Jesus built a denomination (Matt. 16.18); that He is the head of a that He died nomination (Eph. g and shed His blood to purchase a nation (Acts 20.28); that He adds tlie saved to a denomination (Acts 2 47; 1 Cor. 12.13; Rom. 16.16); and that He will one day turn as the Savior of a denomination (Eph. e denomination fits 5 23). Which these passages? Is it the Adventist the Baptist, the Catholic, the Jehovah Witness, the Mormon - which? Fnends, it is a FACT of history that the Catholic church was the first de nation' known to modem man (dated "Prote-Bibl- e from 325 A.D.). All the tant" denominational churches are lesa than 500 years old (the Lutheran church being the first of these - dated from about 1530 A.D.). When Peter and the other apostles told the people in the first cen-th- e tury to "repent and be baptized... for the forgiveness of sins" and about 3,000 obeyed (Acts 2.38, 41), to what "denomi-Chnnation were they added?

Can one do this with-so4 out JOINING any of the nominations? Yes! Fnends, Jesus built, purchased, adds to, and will save only the church that He is the Head over - His church - the One body of Chnst (Col. 1.18; Eph. 4 4; 1 Cor. 1Z27). Jesus did NOT die for any denomination! He died for His body or His church. His body is not a 'denomination." To be concluded next week (Lord willing).
