Chaffee Road Church Of Christ


1340 Chaffee Rd S

Duval,


Florida,United-states - 32221

Detailed description is We are a congregation of the Lord's Church working in the Jacksonville area.
.
.
"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18)..
.
"And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved" (Acts 2:47b)..
.
What is the church of Christ? .
.
The apostle Peter once wrote, "Sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear" (I Peter 3:15.) Christians are admonished to be ready at all times to give a reason for the faith which they hold..
.
The above scripture came to mind recently when Managing Editor, Al Parker, of The Wichita Daily Times, a newspaper published in Wichita Falls, Texas, wrote asking me to prepare an article on the subject: "What Is the Church of Christ?" He wanted to include such an article in "a series of informative articles on the role of religion in today's world" which he was publishing.
When the article was prepared it was also submitted to and purchased by Look Magazine for inclusion in its series on the religious beliefs of the American people..
.
By the very nature of the situation, it is not possible for me, or anyone else, to speak officially for the churches of Christ throughout the world.
The answers to the questions which follow are, therefore, my own.
They have the added merit, however, of expressing the general beliefs and convictions of most members of the churches of Christ..
.
The questions and answers which follow conform to the format suggested by the above named editor and by Look Magazine.
Most, though not all, of the questions were suggested by them.
With this explanation of the purpose and plan of writing, we are now ready for the first question..
.
I.
What is the distinctive plea of the church of Christ? .
.
It is primarily a plea for religious unity based upon the Bible.
In a divided religious world, it is believed that the Bible is the only possible common denominator upon which most, if not all, of the God-fearing people of the land can unite.
This is an appeal to go back to the Bible; It is a plea to speak where the Bible speaks and to remain silent where the Bible is silent in all matters that pertain to religion.
It further emphasizes that in everything religious there must be a "Thus saith the Lord" for all that is done.
The objective is religious unity of all believers in Christ.
The basis is the New Testament.
The method is the restoration of New Testament Christianity..
.
II.
What is the historical background of the restoration movement? .
.
One of the earliest advocates of the return to New Testament Christianity, as a means of achieving unity of all believers in Christ, was James O'Kelly of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
In 1793 he withdrew from the Baltimore conference of his church and called upon others to join him in taking the Bible as the only creed.
His influence was largely felt in Virginia and North Carolina where history records that some seven thousand communicants followed his leadership toward a return to primitive New Testament Christianity..
.
In 1802 a similar movement among the Baptists in New England was led by Abner Jones and Elias Smith.
They were concerned about "denominational names and creeds" and decided to wear only the name Christian, taking the Bible as their only guide.
In 1804, in the western frontier state of Kentucky, Barton Stone and several other Presbyterian preachers took similar action declaring that they would take the Bible as the "only sure guide to heaven." Thomas Campbell, and his more illustrious son, Alexander Campbell, took similar steps in the year 1809 in what is now the state of West Virginia.
They contended that nothing should be bound upon Christians as a matter of doctrine which is not as old as the New Testament.
Although these four movements were completely independent in their beginnings eventually they became one strong restoration movement because of their common purpose and plea.
These men did not advocate the starting of a new church, but rather a return to Christ's church as described in the Bible..
.
Members of the church of Christ do not conceive of themselves as a new church started near the beginning of the nineteenth century.
Rather, the whole movement is designed to reproduce in contemporary times the church originally established on Pentecost, A.
D.
30.
The strength of the appeal lies in the restoration of Christ's original church..
.
III.
How many churches of Christ are there? .
.
The most recent dependable estimate lists more than fifteen thousand individual churches of Christ.
The "Christian Herald," a general religious publication which presents statistics concerning all the churches estimates that the total membership of the churches of Christ is now 2,000,000.
There are more than 7,000 men who preach publicly.
Membership of the church is heaviest in the southern states, particularly Tennessee and Texas, though congregations exist in each of the fifty states and in more than eighty foreign countries.
Missionary expansion has been most extensive since the second World War in Europe, Asia and Africa.
More than 450 full-time workers are supported in foreign countries.
The churches of Christ now have five times as many members as were reported in the U.
S.
Religious Census of 1936..
.
IV.
Are the churches organically connected? .
.
Following the plan of organization found in the New Testament, churches of Christ are autonomous.
Their common faith in the Bible and adherence to its teaching are the chief ties which bind them together.
There is no central headquarters of the church and no organization superior to the elders of each local congregation.
Congregations do cooperate voluntarily in supporting the orphans and the aged, in preaching the gospel in new fields, and in other similar works..
.
There are no conventions, annual meetings, or official publications.
The "tie that binds" is a common loyalty to the principles of the restoration of New Testament Christianity..
.
V.
How are the churches of Christ governed? .
.
In each congregation which has existed long enough to become fully organized, there is a plurality of elders or presbyters who serve as the governing body.
These men are selected by the local congregation on the basis of qualifications set down in the Scriptures (II Tim.
3:1-8).
Serving under the elders are deacons, teachers, and evangelists or ministers.
The latter do not have authority equal to or superior to the elders.
The elders are shepherds or overseers who serve under the headship of Christ according to the New Testament, which is a kind of constitution.
There is no earthly authority superior to the elders of the local church..
.
VI.
What does the church of Christ believe about the Bible? .
.
The original autographs of the sixty-six books which make up the Bible are considered to have been divinely inspired, by which it is meant that they are infallible and authoritative.
Reference to the scriptures is made in settling every religious question.
A pronouncement from the scriptures is considered the final word.
The basic textbook of the church and the basis for all preaching is the Bible..
.
VII.
Do members of the church of Christ believe in the virgin birth? .
.
Yes.
The statement in Isaiah 7:14 is taken as a prophecy of the virgin birth of Christ.
New Testament passages such as Matthew 1:20, 25, are accepted at face value as declarations of the virgin birth.
Christ is accepted as the only begotten Son of God, uniting in his person perfect divinity and perfect manhood..
.
VIII.
Does the church of Christ believe in predestination? .
.
Only in the sense that God predestines the righteous to be eternally saved and the unrighteous to be eternally lost.
The statement of the apostle Peter, "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation he that feareth him and worketh righteousness is acceptable unto him" (Acts 10:34-35.) is taken as an evidence that God did not predestine individuals to be eternally saved or lost, but that each man determines his own destiny..
.
IX.
Why does the church of Christ baptize only by immersion? .
.
The word baptize comes from the Greek word "baptizo" and literally means, "to dip, to immerse, to plunge." In addition to the literal meaning of the word, immersion is practiced because it was the practice of the church in apostolic times.
Still further, only immersion conforms to the description of baptism as given by the apostle Paul in Romans 6:3-5 where he speaks of it as a burial and a resurrection..
.
X.
Is infant baptism practiced? .
.
No.
Only those who have reached the "age of accountability" are accepted for baptisms.
It is pointed out that the examples given in the New Testament are always of those who have heard the gospel preached and have believed it.
Faith must always precede baptism, so only those old enough to understand and believe the gospel are considered fit subjects for baptism..
.
XI.
Do ministers of the church hear confession? .
.
No.
Ministers or evangelists of the church have no special prerogatives.
They do not wear the title of Reverend or Father, but are addressed simply by the term Brother as are all other men of the church.
Along with elders and others, they do counsel and advise those seeking help..
.
XII.
Are prayers addressed to saints? .
.
No.
God the Father is considered the only one to whom prayers may be addressed.
It is further understood that Christ stands in a mediatorial position between God and man (Heb.
7:25).
All prayers are therefore offered through Christ, or in the name of Christ (John 16:23-26)..
.
XIII.
How often is the Lord's supper eaten? .
.
It is expected that every member of the church will assemble for worship on each Lord's day.
A central part of the worship is the eating of the Lord's supper (Acts 20:7).
Unless providentially hindered, each member considers this weekly appointment as binding.
In many instances, as in the case of illness, the Lord's supper is carried to those who are hindered from attending the worship..
.
XIV.
What kind of music is used in the worship? .
.
As a result of the distinctive plea of the church - a return to New Testament faith and practice - a cappella singing is the only music used in the worship.
This singing, unaccompanied by mechanical instruments of music, conforms to the music used in the apostolic church and for several centuries thereafter (Eph.
5:19).
It is felt that there is no authority for engaging in acts of worship not found in the New Testament.
This principle eliminates the use of instrumental music, along with the use of candles, incense, and other similar elements..
.
XV.
Does the church of Christ believe in heaven and hell? .
.
Yes.
The statements of Christ in Matthew 25, and elsewhere, are taken at face value.
It is believed that after death each man must come before God in judgment and that he will be judged according to the deeds done while he lived (Heb.
9:27).
After judgment is pronounced he will spend eternity either in heaven or hell..
.
XVI.
Does the church of Christ believe in purgatory? .
.
No.
The absence of any reference in the scriptures to a temporary place of punishment from which the soul will eventually be released into heaven prevents the acceptance of the doctrine of purgatory..
.
XVII.
By what means does the church secure financial support? .
.
Each first day of the week the members of the church "lay by in store as they have been prospered" (1 Cor.
16:2).
The amount of any individual gift is generally known only to the one who gave it and to the Lord.
This free-will offering is the only call which the church makes.
NO assessments or other levies are made.
No money-making activities, such as bazaars or suppers, are engaged in.
A total of approximately $200,000,000 is given on this basis each year..
.
XVIII.
What is the belief of the church of Christ concerning divorce? .
.
Because of the statements made by Christ in Matthew 19:3-9, and elsewhere, it is believed that marriage is binding until death.
The only exception is in the case of adultery on the part of one of the parties to the marriage.
In such cases it is believed that the innocent marriage partner is no longer bound by the marriage ties.
Divorces, for the myriad causes known to modern society, are not recognized as scriptural..
.
XIX.
Does the church of Christ have a creed? .
.
No.
at least, there is no creed in the usually accepted meaning of that term.
The belief of the church is stated fully and completely in the Bible.
There is no other manual or discipline to which the members of the church of Christ give their allegiance.
The Bible is considered as the only infallible guide to heaven..
.
XX.
How does one become a member of the church of Christ? .
.
In the salvation of man's soul there are two necessary parts: God's part and man's part.
God's part is the big part, "For by grace ye have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, that no man should glory" (Eph.
2:8-9).
The love which God felt for man led him to send Christ into the world to redeem man.
The life and teaching of Jesus, the sacrifice on the cross, and the proclaiming of the gospel to men constitute God's part in salvation..
.
Though God's part is the big part, man's part is also necessary if man is to reach heaven.
Man must comply with the conditions of pardon which the Lord has announced.
Man's part can be clearly set forth in the following steps:.
.
(1) Hear the Gospel.
"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shell they hear without a preacher?" (Romans 10:14)..
.
(2) Believe.
"And without faith it is impossible to be wellpleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him" (Hebrews 11:6)..
.
(3) Repent of past sins.
"The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent" (Acts 17:30)..
.
(4) Confess Jesus as Lord.
"Behold here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, if thou believeth with all thy heart thou mayest.
And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God" (Acts 8:36-37)..
.
(5) Be baptized for the remission of sins.
"And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38)..
.
(6) Live a Christian life.
Ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light" (1 Peter 2:9)..
.
Now that you are aware of a church in the twentieth century which is built according to the blue prints of Christ's original church, why not become a member of it? In becoming a member of it you will be called upon to do nothing which you cannot read in the New Testament.
You will then live and worship just as the apostle-guided Christians of the first century did..
.
Not only is this return to New Testament Christianity a wonderful basis upon which all believers in Christ can unite, it is absolutely solid ground, If we do just what our Lord commanded we know that our salvation is certain.
Come with us as we go back to the Bible, back to Christ and his church! .
