On the first Pentecost after the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, the church of Christ was founded in Jerusalem as recorded in Acts 2. This was a fulfillment of Jesus’ promise to build His church (Matthew 16:18). The church grew rapidly in those early days and spread throughout the Roman empire. Today the church of Christ continues as a non-denominational institution just as it was founded in the first century. It’s plea is to follow the Bible as it’s only guide. During the early days of United States history, various men from differing areas began to consider what was wrong with the Reformation movement. It had splintered into many denominations. Therefore, they realized we could not trust the creeds of men, but only the Bible. They believed “the Bible only makes Christians only,” and “speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent.” Their desire was not to reform. Their desire was to restore the Church one reads about in the New Testament. |
