The church of Christ is the only church one must be in to be saved.

Thank you for accepting this very important proposition, as I plan to show that the church of Christ is the only church one must be in to be saved, although my opponent may state otherwise by claiming all churches say the same thing, or, that there are other churches mentioned in the bible, which I will prove to be false. In order to prove my opponent wrong I will use the New Testament scriptures as my sole source. I will prove the churches of Christ is the "only church" that abides by the New Testament pattern. History of the churches of Christ according to scripture. 1. Established on the day of Pentecost in AD33, Acts 2;41-47, 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. 2. Baptism by believers of accountability, Acts 2:38King James Version (KJV) 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Mark 16:16King James Version (KJV) 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 3. Following the pattern given by the Holy Spirit to the Apostles so they would know everything that was needed to tell and show us how to go by,1 John 1:1-3King James Version (KJV) 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 3. Ephesians 4:5-6King James Version (KJV) 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 4. Acts 20:7King James Version (KJV) 7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. 5. 1 Corinthians 16:2King James Version (KJV) 2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. 6. Singing only is authorized, Colossians 3:16King James Version (KJV) 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Ephesians 5:19King James Version (KJV) 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; =================================================================================================== I have shown the history of the beginning of the churches of Christ, and answered the who, what, when, where, why and how of the churches of Christ, and now my opponent will have to prove that the churches of Christ is not the one and only true church.
