Misconceptions About The Church of Christ

The Lord's church has often been mischaracterized, redefined, and even slandered by her opponents. In the first century, some Jews came to study with Paul who was currently under house arrest. They spoke about the church of Christ this way, "But we desire to hear from you what you think; for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere" (Acts 28:22). Some things never change. The Lord's church continues to be spoken against everywhere and such is fitting due to the nature of truth and error. Truth has nothing in common with error any more than light has communion with darkness. Below are some lessons answering some of the misconceptions about the church of Christ pertaining to:

1. Is the church of Christ a denomination?

2. Did the church of Christ begin in the restoration movement?

3. Does the church of Christ have music?

4. Does the church of Christ believe in the Old Testament?

5. Does the church of Christ believe in the Holy Spirit?

6. Does the church of Christ teach water salvation?

How To Call On The Lord To Be Saved?

It is a phrase which is often stated but one that is unlikely explained. You must "call on the name of the Lord" to be saved. But what does it mean? How do we call on the name of the Lord today?

This command was also unclear to many of the Jews in the first century. The apostle Peter was preaching the gospel to thousands on the day of Pentecost wherein he quoted from the prophet Joel, "And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).

After he testified against their deeds and after he gave irrefutable proof that Jesus was the Christ, the people were pierced to the heart and asked a very important question, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" (Acts 2:37). If they knew "how to call on the name of the Lord, they would not have asked, "what shall we do?"

The Plan of Salvation

Have you obeyed the gospel? Is the gospel to be obeyed and if so, what is required? We know the gospel is to be obeyed because Paul said of our Lord’s second coming,
