IWAS WARNED
about the Church of Christ
My friends and relatives were shocked when they heard
I was studying the Bible to become a member of the church
of Christ—a 'Christian' only.
. I realize now that they were completely sincere and
honest as they attempted to show me the mistake I would
be making. By studying the Bible I have found that the
things they believed about the church of Christ are not so.
If they had been so. I truly would have been making a serious
mistake.
My friends and relatives have sent me various pamphlets
and tracts which contained conflicting and confusing teach
ings about the church, baptism. Christian worship and other
topics. There were, in these pamphlets, a number of quota
tions from catechisms, prayer books, and other creeds of
uninspired men. All of these seemed to say that whatever
any man believes to be true, is true.
But 1 have come to know through a study of the scrip
ture that the Word of God, the Bible, is the only divinely
recognized authority in Christianity. Hence. I am now a
convert to Christ and therefore a member of His church,
the church of Christ. Matt. 16:18.
