THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO Salvation "Outside Of" the Church of Christ Was there salvation outside of the ark? Was there iglesia bautista en houston of the nation of Israel? Is there salvation outside the church of Christ? The solution to all of the questions, per the Bible, is actually "no".    Before bilingual spanish church in houston obtain the best of you, calm yourself down and consider two preliminary points; (1) I grew up in one of the largest, main-stream denominations in America - not in the church of Christ, therefore i can speak right to this problem. What I'm going to share with you comes from years of personal study, debating, argumentation, and absolute have a problem with proven fact that salvation is in only one church. (2) Jesus said in Matthew 22:29, "Ye do err, being unsure of the scriptures, nor the power of God." Many "religious" folks have formed their ideas about salvation by themselves opinions, pre-conceptions, and statements that they've heard again and again since they've been children (rather than the Bible).    The Bible says that there surely is no salvation found outside the church of Christ. The Apostle Paul said in Colossians 1:18 that Jesus may be 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 as 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 is the head of the church: and he could be the saviour of the body." For an individual to say they can be saved without having to be an associate of the church of Christ reveals their ignorance of the Scripture, as the Apostle Paul says that Christ is the "saviour" of your body, and the body may be the church.    Just how many "churches" was Paul talking about? Now watch this; exactly the same Paul told the Ephesians, in 4:4, that there surely is one body. If the body is the church, as Paul stated, and, as he also stated, that there surely is only 1 body, then there's only one church. A child can understand this simple Bible teaching.    Although, this begs the question, "Which church is the one church?" Well, let' iglesia sana doctrina en houston with a simple example. Martin Luther was an excellent 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 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 isn't logical, reasonable, or biblical to summarize that the Lutheran Church is the one church of the Bible, because it simply did not exist at that time (the first century)!
