Some more questions to ask about your church

Some more questions to ask about your church

“Am I going to the right church?” That is a critically important question. But, how does one determine if he is going to the right church? Here is a question to ask, “Does the church I attend resemble the church that Jesus established in the New Testament?”

Does my church worship on the first day of the week, like the church in the New Testament did (Acts 20:7)? Does my church teach the essentiality of immersion into Christ for salvation (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38)? Does my church observe the Lord’s Supper every Sunday (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 11:20)? Does my church have elders and deacons (1 Tim. 3:1-13; Acts 14:23; Phil. 1:1)? Does my church stand for moral purity and righteous living (1 Cor. 6:9-11; Gal. 5:19-23; Col. 3:1-17)?

The New Testament teaches that there is only “one church” (Eph. 4:4; 1 Cor. 1:10), and then it provides the distinct pattern for the doctrine and practice of that one church. The church belongs to Christ! Are you certain that you are in His one church?
