Another Faith??

What to call any church that is NOT Apostolic????????????? A false church.

I had a person ask me once "If you was not Apostolic what would you be?"

I said "Nothing like everyone else."

What's wrong with a person saying that he or she is a member of "The Church of Jesus Christ - Oneness" ..........There are Lutherans and Catholics who equate Apostolic with a Catholic organization. I know that sounds weird to us, but there are some out there who do. I'm not saying don't call yourself Apostolic, but I can't see that it is wrong to say Church Of Jesus Christ - Oneness.

Not a thing wrong with that.

It is NOT the Name over the door but the message preached in the pulpit-the experience recieved by the members and the lifestyle they live that determines the True Faith.

I don't think that having the name over the door is essential (as some do) but I think it's the best name to have associated with the church. Also, I agree - the people living for God make "The Church" - not a sign.

By the way the name of the church I pastor is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Mitchell." The name over the door is "The Church of Jesus Christ." But I do not think the scriptures give us a name to place over the door nor an exact designated name of the church.

And it's not too awful far of a drive from "The Church of Jesus Christ with Signs Following and Snakes Slithering."
