There Is No Salvation "BEYOND" the Church of Christ Was there salvation outside the ark? Was there salvation outside of the nation of Israel? Will there be salvation outside the church of Christ? The answer to all of these questions, per the Bible, is actually "no". Before your emotions obtain the best of you, calm yourself down and consider two preliminary points; (1) I grew up in one of the largest, main-stream denominations in the us - not in the church of Christ, so I can speak right to this problem. What I'm going to share with you originates from years of personal study, debating, argumentation, and absolute struggle with proven fact that salvation is in only one church. (2) Jesus said in Matthew 22:29, "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the energy of God." Many "religious" people have formed their ideas about salvation on their own opinions, pre-conceptions, and statements that they've heard over and over since they are children (as opposed to the Bible). The Bible says that there is no salvation found outside the church of Christ. The Apostle Paul said in Colossians 1:18 that Jesus is the head of the body, the church. iglesia en houston and the church are one in exactly the same. Paul told the Ephesians, in Ephesians 5:25, "...even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for this." The church is singular around, and Jesus gave Himself for the church. In Ephesians 5:23, Paul said, "...even while Christ may be the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body." For a person to say that they can be saved without having to be a member of the church of Christ reveals their ignorance of the Scripture, as the Apostle Paul says that Christ may be the "saviour" of the body, and the body may be the church. Just how many "churches" was Paul speaking of? Now watch this; exactly the same Paul told the Ephesians, in 4:4, that there surely is one body. If your body is the church, as Paul stated, and, as he also stated, that there surely is only 1 body, then there's only one church. A kid can understand why simple Bible teaching. Although, this begs the question, "Which church is the one church?" Well, let's work with a simple example. Martin Luther was a fine man with the noble desire to make contact with the Bible. After iglesia bilingue en houston , his follower's established the denomination bearing his name; the Lutheran Church. Now, was this the main one church that Paul spoke of in his epistles? How could it possibly be - the Lutheran Church didn't exist when Paul wrote his epistle. The truth is, the Lutheran Church was established some 1500 years after Paul spoke his inspired words; therefore, it isn't logical, reasonable, or biblical to summarize that the Lutheran Church may be the one church of the Bible, because it simply didn't exist at that time (the initial century)!
