Today there are over 400 different denominations with many different plans of salvation, practicing different kinds of worship, teaching different doctrines, and wearing different names which are unheard of and unknown in the Bible. Is this what God wants? A denomination must have a man made creed, confession of faith, manual, discipline, catechism, and such like in order to exist.

If people would follow what the Bible says, and only what the Bible says, then there would only be one church, the church of Christ. We have also seen that we must worship and only serve ... If our worship to God is vain we will loose our souls. We will not be able to go to heaven, but we will have to spend forever and ever in eternal punishment. I wonder if many people really believe there is going to be an eternal punishment in the fires of Hell. But as the Bible says in Hebrews 9:27, "It is appointed unto men once ... ...
