FAQs
Below are some questions that are frequently asked about the Church of Christ?
- What is the Church of Christ?
- What are the five acts of worship?
- What must one do to be saved?
A: At the worship services on each and every Sunday, we participate in five different elements of worship: prayer, singing, hearing God's word through a message, participating in the partaking of the Lord's Supper and giving of our means through financial contributions. Please consider the following scriptures in regards to each of the elements of worship.
Q: What must one do to be saved? A: There are five things one must do to be saved? They include:
1) Hearing the gospel - "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." (Rom. 10:17)
2) Believing the gospel - "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Heb. 11:6)
3) Repenting of sins - "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Pet. 3:9)
4) Confessing Christ - "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Rom. 10:9,10)
5) Baptism into Christ - "And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord." (Acts 22:16)
Many other Scriptures substantiate each of the above points and all should be studied in their contexts. It follows that faithfulness throughout life must be pursued for us to be saved. See Matthew 28:18-20.
