There Is No Salvation "Outside Of" the Church of Christ Was there salvation outside of the ark? Was there salvation outside of the nation of Israel? Will there be salvation outside of the church of Christ? The solution 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 was raised in one of the largest, main-stream denominations in America - not in the church of Christ, so I can speak directly to this problem. 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 mere one church. (2) Jesus said in Matthew 22:29, "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power 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 (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 is the head of your body, the church. Your body and the church are one in exactly the same. Paul told the Ephesians, in Ephesians 5:25, "...even while Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it." The church is singular in existence, 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 your body." For an individual to say that they can be saved without being an associate of the church of Christ reveals their ignorance of the Scripture, as the Apostle Paul says that Christ is the "saviour" of the body, and the body is the church. How iglesia en houston " was Paul talking about? Now watch hispani church near me told the Ephesians, in 4:4, that there is one body. If the body may be the church, as Paul stated, and, as he also stated, that there surely is only one body, then there's only one church. A child can understand this simple Bible teaching. Although, this begs the question, "Which church may be 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 Luther's death, 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 is not logical, reasonable, or biblical to summarize that the Lutheran Church is the one church of the Bible, since it simply didn't exist in those days (the first century)!
