Q.-Since there are so many churches
and each one claiming to be the right
one, have become quite perplexed.
Can you tell me which is the TRUE
church7 "a
Answer According to the Bible
there is but one Church which was
founded By our Savior at Pentecost
Members of this true Church may be
looked for in all denominations and
outside of all denominations. The
Scriptures describe the TRUE Church
by various names-"Church of God.
"Cburch Of Christ. Body Of Christ.
THE Bride of Christ" The House
hold OF Faith" but uses none of these
names in a sectarian sense. The ApoS
tie speaks Of the 'sChurch Of The Fils
borns whose names are written in
heaven Hebrews 1921 He sayS
nothing Of our names being written
on any earthly book as a prerequisite
to membership in the True Church
The world is astonished and the
Church is abashed at the confusion of
creeds among those protesting to be
Christ's Church. consequently the cry
for federation However. many Of
Gods noble saints realize thar II would
be far better for US to take the Bible
for our Greed. abandoning the creeds
handed down to US from the darker
past. The poet has well answered
your question in these lines
What is a Church? Let truth and reason
speak.
They should reply; The faithful pure ana

OF ali professions and Of every place

in name.
