[angels4u]

Churches of Christ are Bible believing churches. They are independent of each other although some of there tradtions are close to the same. Most noticable difference in the churches of christ is that most of them sing a-cappella without instruments or piano or even hand clapping. That is changing in some churches of christ though.

United churches of christ are very different from just churches of christ they seem to allow organ music and have more of what I consider to be catholic style of presentation of worship

Churches of Christ in general developed out what is know as the Boston Movement which I don't know much other than that and I grew up in a church of christ. There are also greast names associated with that and I do not who they are because again churches of Christ are independent of each other and do there own thing as they understand the Bible.

There are even famous pepele of today that asscoiate with churches of christ but that is not what is impoartant.

what is important is that you find a good bible believeing church that is able to meet most if not all of your needs. Most churches of christ and a few other denominations I', aware of can not go more than 2 hours of worship unless food is involved. This is why I will never be thin or go hungry again. LOL!

There is no better way to look for it than reading the Bible, which truly talks about it...

I know people who are involved in the Victory church and live by faith and therefore they believe The Lord will heal them when they are sick and they will not see a doctor.

I think we've had something along the lines of this conversation before, then they don't believe like any of the mail line CoC's I've ever heard of?

[angels4u]

Yes,we did talk about this before but I never found out of what they really believe in, I quess I phone that church...

I'm sad about it because my friends daughter got involved in it

Thanks anyway,

The Church of Christ is a restoration movement church.

1) They focus on the New Testament; the new covenent.

2) No musical instruments in church

3) Used to think one had to be a member of a COC to go to heaven

4) Do not believe in the rapture or all the other "end times" doom and gloom that's so prevalent today. They say they believe Jesus will come back but not to dwell on it, just to live every day like it's your last.

5) Don't get too heavily involved in politics or at least they used to not do it.

6) They believe you HAVE to get baptized to be saved and that you must be submerged.

7) They believe an unbibically divorced person who remarries is in a continuous state of adultery (they may have softened this some over the years).

8) They preach a lot about drinking.

9) They don't beg for money as much as some denominations. Put your dollar in the plate and pass it along.

That's just what I remember; hubby's family is Church of Christ. I disagree with some of their beliefs but overall I think it's a good little church, not fanatical, not pushy, but normal people who want to worship God respectfully without all the flash and showmanship. I think they're doctrinally sound in most areas, moreso than the more popular denominations...jmo. I don't think you have anything to worry about, they don't teach anything that isn't Christ centered; their focus is on Jesus.

I thought Baptists were the only ones who had to eat between Christian Development [sundaySchool] and Worship time!

An interesting little side note here. I used to listen to christian radio all the time and one day I was in the car, it was a weekend, and some minister came on and he actually preached a sermon. It was so refreshing, he talked about Jesus and the sermon on the mound etc and I realized when he was done how long it had been since I'd actually heard a sermon on christian radio. When he was done the announcer told the man's name and that he was a minister at a Church of Christ.

CoC pretty much all my life and I don't disagree with anything you said! But the group Angel is talking about is not main line CoC, it sounds like some kinda cult.
