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 of the church of Christ? The answer to all of the questions, per the Bible, is actually "no". Before your emotions get 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 America - not in the church of Christ, therefore i can speak directly to this matter. What I'm going to share with you originates from years of personal study, debating, argumentation, and absolute have a problem with idea that salvation is in only one church. (2) Jesus said in Matthew 22:29, "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God." Many "religious" folks have formed their ideas about salvation by themselves opinions, pre-conceptions, and statements that they've heard again and again since they've been children (rather than the Bible). The Bible says that there is no salvation found outside of the church of Christ. The Apostle Paul said in Colossians 1:18 that Jesus may be the head of your body, the church. The body and the church are one in the same. Paul told the Ephesians, in Ephesians 5:25, "...even while Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for this." iglesia sana doctrina en houston is singular in existence, and Jesus gave Himself for the church. In Ephesians 5:23, Paul said, "...even while Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of your 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, because the Apostle Paul says that Christ is the "saviour" of your body, and the body may be the church. How many "churches" was Paul speaking of? Now watch this; exactly the same Paul told the Ephesians, in 4:4, that there is one body. If the body is the church, as Paul stated, and, as he also stated, that there surely is only one body, then there is only one church. A child can understand this simple Bible teaching. Although, this begs the question, "Which church is the one church?" Well, let's use a simple example. Martin Luther was a fine man with the noble need to get back to the Bible. After iglesia 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 conclude that the Lutheran Church may be the one church of the Bible, since it simply didn't exist in those days (the initial century)!
