Brother when you said the way to get rid of division is to get rid of every name that doesn't have salvation in it!! I actually laughed out loud! The truth in that statement hit like bricks! Keep preaching THAT Word!!!!!!!
God answers prayers!!! This topic has been on my heart as I see the Lord's Church move farther and farther away from its UNIQUENESS of THE TRUTH. May you endeavor to continue preaching THE WORD, SOUND DOCTRINE in season and out of season. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!! Amen.
I am a member of the Church of Christ. However, there is difference in saying there is a name for a “Christian” and name for the “Church of Christ”. It is true that those in the body are individually called Christians (Acts 11:26). However, the church is referred to by many names in the New Testament. The church is referred to as the “Church of Christ or Churches of Christ in Romans 16:16. The church is also referred to by other names such as the Royal Priesthood (1 Peter 2:9); Spiritual Jews (Romans 2:28-29), Spiritual Israel/New Jerusalem(Galatians 3:7; Galatians 6:16); and many other names. Considering that the church often met in houses (Colossians 4:15), having a name on a building does not make a congregation a church of Christ. It is the doctrine. The doctrine is what makes a congregation a church of Christ, not the name on the building (2 John 1:8-9). There’s many congregations which “Church of Christ” on the building that do not teach truth. Obviously as we see In Revelation 1-3, there is a difference between unfaithful congregation and denomination. As long as a congregation teaches the pure gospel, they are a church of Christ, but most congregations teach error in areas outside salvation.
This is simple and not confusing like the video stated… trying to approve “descriptive names /adjective names” of the Church is so exhausting, which the list that is provided even in this exhaustive manner shows that the name does matter because why have a list. Regardless when someone ask you where you attend service or where you a member, people will only remember a name…. And you need to ask yourself the name you provide - does it have salvation in it.
that’s interesting, but at some point a name on a building does matter doesn’t it? what if we go to worship and the name on the building is Church of satan?
Amen to the truth Brother William I pray the whole world will listen to the truth and study with you may God keep you with good health and long Jevita to win many souls to Christ! In Jesus Christ's name Amen

True

Christ is not His name; It is a title. His name is Yeshua. Shall we change the name to church of Yeshua?
If a name is everything, then why do we use Jesus instead of Yeshua? Christ is a title, not a name.
Same name different language. Uno=one
Amen to the truth Brother William I pray the whole world will listen to the truth and study with you may God keep you with good health and long Jevita to win many souls to Christ! In Jesus Christ's name Amen
