But the reformers often started at different points and thus arrived at different conclusions. Division rather than unity has thus resulted. The Spruce Pine church of Christ, on the other hand, pleads for the restoration of the Apostolic Christianity rather than a reformation of existing religious bodies.

Today we teach as did the apostles that for Christ's blood to remove our sins we must as believers in Him repent and be baptized.
