the wishes of others Our Guide" Fry Gibbs FUNERAL HOME 730 Clarksville SL Dial 3-3356 DOCTRINE A church claiming a scriptural origin and wearing a Bible name may not be the church of the New Testament. To be apostolic it must also be scriptural in doctrine. We shall discuss severo! points of New Testament doctrine. These are all believed and practiced by the church of Christ in your community. The first is THE CHURCH ITSELF The statement that the church is non -essential is constantly being broadcast by the irreligious and by many of those who are religious.

The New Test-' ament teaches that the church is necessary; that none can hope for the best in lite and in the hereafter outside of it; and that it has much to ELMER L'ROY do with salvation. Consider the following truths: 1. The church is the body of Christ 1Eph. 1:22, 23; Col. 1:181.

Can one be saved without bodily connection with Christ? No, for Jesus said. "li a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned" (John 2. All are reconciled to God in Christ 12 Cor. 191. But those who ore reconciled in Christ are reconciled "in one body" (Eph.

which Paul says is the church (Eph. 1:22, 23). 3. Timothy was told that the "house of God," or God's family, "is the church of the living God" (1 Tim. 3:151.

Those in his family are heirs I (Romons Can one inherit eternal life without being on heir? with. out being a son of God? Can one be God's son and not be in his family? He cannot: therefore, the church--the house of God' -is necessary to man's salvation, It is not that the church saves without Christ. Christ is the Sav. iour, but the truth is that Christ saves the church (Eph. Hear These Sermons Sunday at AIR CONDITIONED Lamar Avenue Church of Christ 10:30 A.M.
