PREFACE

Today’s thousands of separate denominations all saying different things are the ongoing and continuing to be built Tower of Babel. according to one source as of 2012 there were over 43,000 professed Christian denominations. Not godly. Not of God. Not of Christ. Not of Scripture. All of man’s doing. Or woman’s.

There is to be one body with One Head, Jesus Christ the Lord — yet man, so-called professed believing Christian man and woman have attempted to dissect, mutilate, break into thousands of pieces the one body and claim it is part of The Head, Christ the Lord.

How so? Can thousands of broken fragments of continuing Babel be of the one clear voice of God’s inerrant Word? Each of the tens of thousands of separate denominations convinced they are the way and the truth.

Denominations denote deterioration from the Truth, the Way, the Light and the Life.

I do not put forth one worldly church, one denomination, heaven forbid — I put forth the lost, diseased, taken with delusion, sin and worldliness — the apostate church, those weak, falling, listening to the myriad and growing false voices contained in those structures, those edifices, those organizations created of and by man thinking they are the way and the truth not obeying Scripture and the voice of God and Christ repent and become part of one body hearing and obeying The Head, Jesus Christ the Lord. Will the belligerent, the rebellious, the arrogant determined they are the ones with the true answer and way humble themselves before the Lord and turn back to Him, His word and His instruction making God their Father and Christ Lord of their lives and ways?

While they still can?

Or, will they all continue laying bricks and mortar building the Tower of Babel ever higher thinking they can reach unto heaven and God of their own doing and ways in disobedience and haughtiness, pride, arrogance and rebellion? They can’t all be right can they? We cannot have tens of thousands of body fragments all disassembled, disjointed, dismembered in disarray claiming to have One Head, Christ the Lord.

The One True Church

by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam

 

Religious people — even sincere Christian people — may divide themselves into various denominations or churches, but there is no indication in the Bible that God recognizes these divisions. Indeed, God makes it abundantly clear that in His sight there is but one Church, composed of all who truly trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. In I Corinthians 12:12-13 the Apostle Paul declares by divine inspiration:

“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ:

“FOR BY ONE SPIRIT ARE WE ALL BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY….”

Again, in Romans 12:5, he says:

“SO WE, BEING MANY, ARE ONE BODY IN CHRIST, AND EVERY ONE MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER.”

Indeed, it is on the basis of the fact that there is but “one body” in God’s sight that He exhorts us to seek to “keep the unity of the Spirit”:

“ENDEAVORING TO KEEP THE UNITY OF THE SPIRIT IN THE BOND OF PEACE.

“THERE IS ONE BODY….” (Ephesians 4:3-4).

How can we become members of that “one Body ,” the true Church? Ephesians 2 explains how Christ died for all, Jew and Gentile alike, “that He might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross…” (Ver. 16). Indeed the Epistles of St. Paul show how God “hath concluded… all in unbelief that He might have mercy upon all” (Romans 11:32), and offer to them reconciliation and salvation by grace through faith in Christ who died for our sins.

The question, then, is not: What church do you belong to? but, Do you belong to the Church, the Body of Christ, composed of all who have acknowledged themselves to be sinners in the sight of God and have trusted in Christ and His finished work for salvation?
