451: Lesson 21: Man Is Not To Change What God Says
How much stronger warnings could God give to those who try to make changes to His will when they change immersion into sprinkling, or to change the necessity of baptism for one to receive forgiveness of sins and be saved to their saying that baptism is not necessary for salvation. God has said plainly that it is necessary. They also say that one's sins are forgiven and that one is saved when he accepts Christ as his personal savior. He can be baptized later if he wants to in order to join that particular denomination; but as we have already seen this ... Many people end up doing this. Your soul's salvation depends on your being right with God. Is there something wrong with your baptism? You may say no, but if there is, we cannot fool God. He knows for sure and you will suffer the eternal consequences. It will be a sad day if you stand before the Lord on the day of judgment and find out that there is something wrong with your baptism. Baptism, that is done according to scripture, for ... ...

452: "Scientology: From Science Fiction to Space-age Religion"
Scientology claims it can free the thetan to realize his or her true nature and powers through certain controversial procedures that allegedly heal the mind and free the spirit. Although the church claims its beliefs are not incompatible with Christian faith, an evaluation of what Scientology teaches in the areas of God, man, the creation, salvation, and death proves this is not so. Scientology is a powerful new religion whose teachings are inconsistent with the beliefs of orthodox Christian faith. Ours is an age of religious cacophony, as was the Roman Empire of Christ's time. From ... "For what will a man be profited if he gain the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"

455: Church Creeds: The fuel of religious division
Church Creeds: The fuel of religious division In a historical trial in Waterloo, Iowa in 1951, the will of one who had left large sums of money to Christian charities was contested. In it, three Protestant clergymen were asked: "What is a Christian?" They responded by defining a Christian as one who believes in the Apostles Creed, the Holy Trinity, in God, the Divinity of Christ, and who subscribes to a confession of faith. Notice this definition denies to those refusing to accept the Apostles Creed and a denominational confession the name Christian. By it neither Peter nor Paul would qualify as a follower of Jesus, since such creeds were unknown in the First Century. In the decades following the death of John, the last living apostle, the early Church faced a difficult problem. False doctrines such as Gnosticism and Monticism plagued the body of Christ. Some even denied the deity of Jesus. To cope with the situation a simple confession of faith was devised to distinguish the Orthodox ... ...

There was no attempt to do away with any other church or form a new division within the Protestant Movement, but CECC is bringing together all those who want and need a direct relationship with Jesus Christ without the limitations of a church hierarchy or a bureaucratic system which was once the characteristic of the medieval system. We have no creed but Christ, and no book but the Bible. Our biblical standard allows our ministers to walk in the freedom of Christian unity and love by following the motto: "Unity in the essentials - Liberty in the non-essentials - Charity in all things."

457: Official creed of the Salvation Army
These beliefs have not essentially changed since the earliest days of the Army in England. It is required of officers of all ranks that their teaching, in public and private, shall conform to these eleven Articles of Faith. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God, and that they only constitute the Divine rule of Christian faith and practice. We believe that there is only one God, who is infinitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things, and who is the only proper object of religious worship. We believe that there are three persons in the Godhead-the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, undivided in essence and co-equal in power and glory. We believe that in the person of Jesus Christ the Divine and human natures are united, so that He is truly and properly God and truly and properly man. We believe that our first parents were created in a state of innocency, but by their disobedience they lost their purity and ... ...

458: Did you choose your church this way???
He will find that Peter, on Pentecost, preached a sermon about Christ at the end of which the people believed that Jesus was the divine son of God. They asked, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Then Peter said unto them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" Acts 2:37,38. In each of the major conversion stories in the book of Acts you will find the same pattern for becoming a Christian. Faith in Christ as the divine son of God, repentance from past sins, making known, or confessing, faith in Christ before men, and baptism for remission of sins. Would it not be wonderful if the millions of Americans who will choose a church in the next fifteen years would choose a church in this ancient, God-given way of becoming a Christian? There is no way but God's way to be saved (Matthew 7:21). Would it not be wonderful also if these millions would worship in the same simple way that ... ...

... It is the gift of God, by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not earned by personal merit or good works. God gives salvation, not only for the present life, but for eternity, to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. (Romans 6:18, 22-23; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:4; Romans 8:21-23) Grace Grace is the free, unmerited favor God bestows on a sinner who repents. In its broadest sense, grace is expressed in every act of God's self-disclosure. By grace, a person comes to know God and Jesus Christ, is justified, and is saved. Through faith in Christ, the Christian remains always under grace. (Romans 3:24; 5:2, 15-17, 21; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:7) Justification Justification is God's gracious act of pronouncing a believer righteous in his sight. It follows repentance and is made possible through faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ and acceptance of him as Lord and Savior.

464: Why Be A Christian?
The second time we find the name Christian is in the same New Testament book, "Acts of Apostles" Chapter 26, verse 28. The Apostle Paul was given an opportunity to speak before King Agrippa, and tell why he was a believer in Jesus. At the conclusion of his speech, King Agrippa said, "almost thou persuade me to be a Christian". The Apostle Peter gives us some very direct instructions formed in his first letter, I Peter, Chapter 4, verse 16. First he warns us not to be a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a busy-body in other peoples business. (This is in verse 15). Following these statements he says: "Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf". The name "Christian" is divided into two parts - Christ and "ian". It means belonging to Christ. Therefore, when we wear the name Christian, we are wearing Christ's name and we tell the world we belong to Christ. The name of Christ is the only name we are to wear, and whereby we ... ...

His claims set him apart from all other religious leaders. Others were self-effacing; he was self-advancing. They pointed away from themselves and said, "That is the truth, as I have discovered it; follow that". Christ pointed to himself and said: "I am the truth; follow me".

Muhammad did not claim to be Allah; Buddha did not claim to be Brahma; Socrates did not claim to be Zeus; Moses did not claim to be Jehovah.

471: Trinity: Arius and the Nicene Creed
"Arius, Waldo, John Wycliffe, and Martin Luther were part of God's organization." (Watchtower, May 15, 1925, p. 149) Arianism did not exist before the 4th century, but was a development of doctrine, just like Creedal Trinity Arianism, a Christian heresy first proposed early in the 4th century by the Alexandrian presbyter ... Arius was thoroughly Greek in his conception of God. Arius' view of Christ was much inferior to that of either Theodotus in the West or of Paul of Samosata in the East. In their view, the man Jesus whom God adopted was fully and truly human. Not so the Jesus of Arius. In his teaching, Jesus had a human body but not a human soul. The Logos took the place of the human soul in Jesus. He was therefore a creature who was neither God nor man. He was not God because the Logos that was in him was created; he was not man because he did not have a soul. Moreover, the Logos was subject to change: he could become a sinner. Such was the teaching which Arius began to set forth ... ...

In Romans, Chapter 5, verses 1,2, the Apostle Paul declared, "Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope in the glory of God". In order for us to be the recipients of the grace of God which comes through Jesus Christ, it is necessary for us to know exactly how grace saves us. In Ephesians, Chapter 2, verses 8,9, Paul declared, "For by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast". Here, we learn that in salvation both God and man have a part. God's part is to provide a way of salvation, or a means whereby man can be saved; this he does by His grace. Man's part is to accept the salvation which God so freely offers and this is done through faith. Man believes in God and then accepts the conditions of salvation which are set forth in the scriptures. Faith saves when faith ... ...

Trinitarians claim that this means that "the Word" (Greek, ho lo'gos) who came to earth as Jesus Christ was Almighty God himself. Someone who is 'with' another person cannot also be that other person." The deception is that this false argument implies that Trinitarians believe that Jesus is the same person as the Father, when in fact, only Modalists believe this. Modalists and JW's are both anti-Trinitarians! Jehovah's Witnesses really don't understand the difference between Trinity and Modalism. In fact Modalism is just as Anti-Trinitarian as Arianism, just in a different way. But in utter deception, the Watchtower applies Modalistic interpretations to a passage, then refutes it. What the average Jw's doesn't understand, is that Trinitarians apply the identical logic to refute Modalism. Here is something that is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for the JW to understand. When a born again Christian points to Scriptures that demonstrate Jesus is God, THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO PROVE THAT JESUS IS GOD ... ...

479: What International churches of Christ believe/Kip McKean
Excerpted from the Official, World Headquarters, Creed of: International churches of Christ ICOC (Crossroads, Boston, Kip McKean, Discipling Movement) NOTE: This website is not affiliated with the ICOC and is presenting their beliefs for reference only. "We Believe That: Jesus, the Son of God, is our one and only Lord and Savior, crucified for our sins and physically resurrected from the dead on the third day. The Bible is the only inspired and inerrant message of God. One is saved by the grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ; and a person must, through faith and obedience, reach out to receive this free gift of salvation. Only baptized disciples are members of Christ's church. After baptism every new Christian needs to be taught or "discipled" by older, more experienced Christians to obey all of Jesus' teachings (Matthew 28:20).

Quote is used to project the false impression that Constantine is the one who ushered the "pagan Trinity Doctrine" into the church. A careful reading of the quote shows that is not what the author is saying! Henderson and Buck, Charles: Theological Dictionary, 1852 Quoted by Anti-trinitarians "Whatever may have been the true character of Constantine's conversion to the Christian faith, its consequences were of vast importance both to the empire and to the Church of Christ. It opened the way for the unobstructed propagation of the Gospel to a wider extent than at any former period of its history. All impediments to an open profession of Christianity were removed, and it became the established religion of the empire. Numerous, however, in various points of view, as were the advantages accruing to it from this change, it soon began to suffer from being brought into close contact with the fostering influence of secular power.

483: Christianity Wasn't Influenced by Pagan Religions!
... This religious ecstasy was supposed to lead them to think they were experiencing the beginning of a new life. (4) The mysteries had little or no use for doctrine and correct belief. They were primarily concerned with the emotional life of their followers. The cults used many different means to affect the emotions and imaginations of initiates and hence bring about "union with the god": processions, fasting, a play, acts of purification, blazing lights, and esoteric liturgies. This lack of any emphasis on correct belief marked an important difference between the mysteries and Christianity. The Christian faith was exclusivistic in the sense that it recognized only one legitimate path to God and salvation, Jesus Christ. The mysteries were inclusivistic in the sense that nothing prevented a believer in one cult from following other mysteries. (5) The immediate goal of the initiates was a mystical experience that led them to feel they had achieved union with their god. Beyond this quest for ... ...

484: What causes of Mental Illness (etiology)
The chemical biopsychiatry industry, being atheistic and evolutionary, rejects a spiritual cause in favor of a chemical imbalance that they believe they can fix through Neuroleptic and anti-psychotic drugs. The harm people suffer at the hands of Biopsychiatry is the punishment they deserve for rejecting faith in God and the Bible as the perfect moral blueprint for human behaviour. The sober truth is that the psychiatry industry really has no idea what causes mental illness. Their message is this: "We really don't have any idea why you act and think the way you do, but our best guess is that you have bad genes and your brain of broken. We cannot cure you but if you take these drugs but you will feel better." To Christians, this is completely unacceptable. For the Christian, it is clear that living a life in a way that is different than God designed us to live, will cause both physical disease and delusional thinking and a collection of sinful behaviours that are labeled as "mental ... ...

A study of the Bible and of human history reveals that man's obedience to God's will has always brought man happiness, and disobedience has always brought unhappiness. For this reason we have in the Bible an emphasis on obedience. God said, "The things I command you, observe to do". Deuteronomy 12: 32. Again, "If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land". Isaiah 1: 19. Christ himself set the example of obedience to the Father's will.

Jesus said, "Ye are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you" John 15:14. Obedience is an expression of our friendship with Jesus. What a marvelous friend we have in him!

This substitution of Mosaic Hebrew for Greek in the name of God is probably the very beginning point of "nomina sacra".
